At Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine, we believe in the continual development of our students, both professionally and personally. What is your self-development plan?

"I agree that self-development is crucial for continual growth and achievement for any aspiring physician. I want to continue to develop my interpersonal effectiveness and how I can be the most effective communicator in an empathetic manner. I have some great book recommendations on these subjects and will be looking into some development classes in communication."

Before your interview with Southeastern University, consider how you want to develop yourself over the coming four years of osteopathic medical school. The plan you discuss can and should include both professional and personal development that will help you in your future career as a physician in practice. If you are looking for some ideas for self-development, you can consider learning from podcasts, attending workshops, volunteering, or working with a tutor.
