This is more of a personal interest question, making it unlikely to give a wrong answer. Think back to any of the "founding fathers" (and mothers!) of medicine and think of who has a story that resonates with you the most. Perhaps they overcame something you can relate to or may have discovered/created/invented something you admire. It's also a great idea to think of the most burning question you would have for that individual. Be sure to add passion to your answer so the interviewers can sense your genuine interest in your future career.

"If I could meet anyone in the history of medicine, I would go back to the very beginning and meet Hippocrates. I find it fascinating that he was the first person ever to believe that disease and death were not a result of the anger of gods. I would ask him what that first conversation was like when he first said to others that disease is not caused by superstitious belief. He would have had to have faced so many roadblocks, yet, he continued to believe in his work."
