By understanding where your interests lie, they'll be better able to customize and tailor your curriculum at Touro University. Additionally, they'll be looking for indicators that you are an introvert who gravitates more towards analytic tasks or an introvert who thrives in more interpersonal settings. But don't feel like you have to know it all and be a master at every aspect of the medical field, either. As they state in their student handbook, "Given the exponential growth in medical knowledge, it is no longer feasible for new graduates to master all or even a fraction of it. According to Prober and Kahn, "It is neither possible nor desirable for all students to deeply explore all aspects of biomedical knowledge." Therefore, PA program curricula should not try to cover as much content as possible. Rather, the scope should be narrowed to focus on the essential medical knowledge, thus allowing for deeper understanding of core knowledge that has practical application for better patient care." Talk about where your interests currently are within the medical field.

"At this point in my studies, I am most interested in Pediatrics as I have always been passionate about helping children. I bring the compassion required for that area of medicine. Also, most of my volunteer experience has been around children's issues. The area of medicine that I find to be my least favorite so far is Pathology. I have not excelled in bio-science; however, I have hired a tutor to ensure my grades remain above average regardless of my natural interest."
