Having a self-development plan is incredibly important for anyone. The interviewers want to know your plan and how attending Midwestern University will benefit that plan. If they are going to invest in you, they need to know that you have a plan for investing in yourself.
Some ideas for self-development include:
- Listening to an inspiring podcast
- Attending personal development workshops
- Spending time volunteering in a capacity related to your career goals
- Utilizing a mentor
- Hiring a tutor
- Learning another language
- Reading books associated with success

"For me, self-development requires a commitment to growth inside and outside of the classroom. While committing myself to medical school, I look forward to attending conferences such as AMSA. I also plan to become actively involved in evidence-based medical research."

Your answer does not need to be lengthy, but you must include a few ways you plan to develop personally and professionally. The interviewers understand that you will not have much time for anything outside of medical school, but they would like to see that you still have goals for self-development.
