The medical school program you are interviewing with is likely speaking with potential candidates from all over the country and even the world. As they consider your application, your interviewers want to know that you are serious about your willingness to relocate and put your focus on training in their program.

The goal when answering this question is to assure the interviewers that relocating will not be a problem for you. If it's a challenging relocation for you, but you are willing to do it, explain your willingness to move for the sake of joining this medical school program. Don't hesitate to talk about your personal or family situation and the support you have to pursue this dream of yours.

"I would greatly look forward to the opportunity to join your medical school. I have traveled here throughout my youth with family as we have extended family in the city. I love that I will be able to participate in all my hobbies here in the region and also have opportunities to do new things over the next four years here."
"Absolutely not. My family lives close to the university and I am very familiar with the area. I think this is advantageous because I know and understand the surrounding patient population this program serves!"
