Tell us about an area of weakness you would like to improve while attending Wayne State's School of Medicine.

"I believe I could improve my written communication skills as I tend to be longer-winded than I would like to be at times. I know that patient documentation in an EMR needs to be clear and concise. During my time at Wayne State University, I would make it a personal goal to continue to improve the conciseness of my written communication skills in my coursework and clinical rotations. Of course, I'd also always be open to feedback from faculty."

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a medical student. You can be candid in your answer, recognizing that you aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure to have an action plan to improve this weakness.
