We promote patient outreach and public education here at our medical genetics residency program. Why do you feel is this important to do?

If you have any experience in community outreach and public service as a medical student or resident, now is a great time to talk about that experience and explain why it was necessary. As you answer this question, you want to speak with passion as you reiterate why the public needs to learn more about the role genetics plays in preventing a predisposition to illnesses and diseases.

"I love that, as a physician, I will promote public health knowledge. I would take advantage of the opportunity to do this as a medical genetics resident because the general public lacks knowledge in this area. I look forward to promoting services on social media because I know how visible this tool is today. I also believe that old-fashioned public forums and education are still useful and exciting."
