The admissions interviewer at the University of Minnesota Medical School wants to know that you see the importance of community involvement. As a physician, your knowledge and help will be greatly needed and appreciated by your community. Show that you are willing to be generous with your time and knowledge.
Some ways that a physician can benefit their community:
- Teach your community about the health resources available to them
- Offer free or reduced-fee services to low-income families
- Hold free workshops on topics such as sexual health or addiction
- Volunteer regularly and be an advocate for volunteering

"Bettering my community is going to be a big part of what I do as a physician. I already spend a great deal of my time volunteering at the local children's hospital, and I plan to continue my volunteer work after medical school. One specific way I will help my community members is by holding free workshops every month. The workshops will tackle tough issues that the community is facing as a whole such as narcotics abuse and increased teen suicide rates."
