When medical students receive federal assistance through loans or grants, some may see it as an unfair advantage to have the first pick of where they practice after completing medical school. On the other hand, some people don't care...so long as the best talent is being put to good use. You can share your thoughts on this with the interviewers but remain positive and show your ability to see both sides.

"I believe that, because there is such a huge shortage of physicians in rural areas, students receiving federal assistance should do their part by practicing in these areas for a certain amount of time. I understand this may seem unfair; however, there could be exceptions for certain rarer specialties or medical students with exceptional grades, for example."

There is no wrong answer to this question, as the interviewers ask for your personal opinion. However, you want to remain neutral in your response and have a reason for feeling one way or the other.
