      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      Having a self-development plan is incredibly important for any medical student. The interviewers want to know what your plan is and how attending their medical school will be beneficial to that plan. If they are going to invest in you, they need to know that you have a plan for investing in yourself.

      How to Answer

      When approaching an answer to a question on your self-development, you'll want to focus on things that will fall outside of the scope of the curriculum of the medical school you will attend. Some ideas for self-development to consider discussing are listening to an inspiring podcaster, attending personal development workshops, spending time volunteering in a capacity related to your career goals, or learning another language.

      2nd Answer Example

      "Professional growth stems from academic excellence and I plan to remain engaged in each course throughout medical school. Additionally, I would like to participate in a few research projects, which extend medical knowledge beyond the classroom, forming bonds with mentors and professionals in the academic arena. Finally, I plan to partake in at least one service project per year, as I feel it is important to serve and learn more about the patient population we treat."
