The interviewers want to understand where you feel healthcare could most evolve. How you answer will inform them of some of your motivators for pursuing a medical career while offering insights into your more altruistic pursuits. Again, perform your research and sincerely align your values with theirs in any way you can.
One of Touro University's core principles is promoting health and health education in underserved and culturally neglected communities. One of the primary issues during the COVD-19 pandemic was that those communities had a history of distrusting the medical community as a response to current and historical systemic racism in health care and society as a whole.
Touro's website states, "Our bench research encompasses all the gamut of current biomedical research, ranging from drug development for HIV, cancer vaccine development, human metabolism, lipid disorders and atherosclerosis, aging, inflammation, neurological and chronic diseases among many other projects. Our main focus is on translational research and chronic diseases." & "Virtual visits. Virtual visits are blended models, more of an enhancement of in-person care rather than a replacement of it. At-home care provides patients with greater convenience, higher quality of life, and lower overall costs, more care is moving to the home with remote patient monitoring."
Whatever your answer, be sure to maintain a hopeful stance and complete your answer by describing how you feel healthcare is currently evolving.

"I would like to see health-based organizations and facilities put more effort into putting their patients at the center of everything they do. That could mean cutting down wait times, improving safety in hospitals, and even engaging with the community more often so there is a greater level of trust. I believe that we are evolving quickly, and I am happy to see how far this patient-centered attitude has come since I started my educational path within medicine."
