QUESTION 8 OF 45

At the University of Minnesota we believe in the continual professional and personal development of our students. Do you have a self-development plan?

Having a self-development plan is incredibly important for anyone. The admissions interviewer at UMMS wants to know your plan and how attending the University of Minnesota will benefit that plan. If they are going to invest in you, they need to know that you have a plan in place for investing in yourself.

Some ideas for self-development:

- Listening to an inspiring podcast
- Attending personal development workshops
- Spending time volunteering in a capacity related to your career goals
- Utilizing a mentor
- Hiring a tutor
- Learning another language
- Reading books associated with success

"I agree that self-development is crucial for continual growth and achievement. I am committed to investing in myself, and some of the ways I do this is by attending personal development workshops and meeting with my mentor once per month."

"For me, self-development requires a commitment to growth inside and outside of the classroom. While committing myself to medical school, I look forward to attending conferences such as AMSA. I also plan to become actively involved in evidence-based medical research."
