The interviewers want to see evidence that you plan to make a positive and lasting impact on the veterinary profession. To provide a memorable response, be as specific as possible. Perhaps you desire to work with a particular dog breed to increase awareness of unfair bias. Maybe your vow as a veterinarian is to teach your clients how diligent nutrition and oral care impact their pets' life expectancy. Discuss with passion and enthusiasm how you plan to improve the veterinary profession and use your skills for the greater good.

"I have chosen to become a veterinarian because of the broad impact I can make on animals, their owners, and my community. As a veterinarian, I can impact others through education and awareness. A veterinarian can positively impact how animals are treated, including the many animals that end up in local shelters. We can be a critical stopping point in animal neglect and abuse cases. As a veterinarian, I will improve the profession by bringing a whole-health mindset to my clients for the betterment of their pets."
