When you become a physician, how will you improve the profession?

"I have chosen to become a physician because of the broad impact I can make on my patients, their families, and my community as a whole. Being a General Practitioner is a career where I can impact others by getting to know my patients more closely than many other specialists and providers can. As a GP, I will improve the profession by bringing a whole-health knowledge and mindset to my patients. When my patients feel motivated and empowered to take their health into their hands, it will trickle down to other aspects of their lives, including their family members' well-being. This ripple will help create greater respect for general health care, improving how the public views our profession and how often patients visit their GP for regular checkups."

When responding to this question, describe how you will improve the profession without speaking negatively of the profession as it is. Many excellent physicians have enhanced the profession, so you want to avoid talking poorly about the medical industry.
