"The courses I enjoyed most in medical school were the classes and workshops with the opportunity to work on cadavers. The human body is fascinating, and since I am a hands-on learner, I found cadaver-based classes to be the most informative. From my work with cadavers, I realized that pursuing training in Internal Medicine was my true calling as a future in cardiovascular care is my dream practice."

Come to your interview ready to talk about your favorite course in medical school. Elaborate on the reason it was your favorite. If you had a great professor, talk about what made them so influential. If you excelled in a particular subject, don't hesitate to brag a bit to your interviewers.
"Physiology was my favorite course. In order to understand what is going wrong in the body, you need to have an excellent working knowledge of how a given system is supposed to work correctly so you can determine why it may be not working or working improperly."
