If you could meet anyone in the history of medicine, who would you choose and why?

"I would love to go back to meet Edward Jenner and explore more of his hands-on work in creating the first smallpox vaccine. His work in immunology and immunizations was revolutionary, and meeting this pioneer and learning his thought process would inspire me."

Think back to any of the founding fathers and mothers of medicine before your interview with Wayne State University, and try to pick someone who has a story that resonates with you the most. You will win your interviewers over if you explain what they overcame and how you relate. It's also a great idea to think of the most burning question you would have for that individual. Add passion to your answer so the interviewers can sense your interest.
