Tell me what sparked your interest in pursuing a career in neurology.

"In my first year of college I was not sure where I wanted to take my studies. But I ended up in a abnormal psychology class, and it open-end my mind to a field I had never considered pursuing. Obviously I didn't pursue a career in that field, but I knew from the brief introduction that I wanted to study the brain. By the time I graduated I found my role working with patients recovering from head trauma.

Interviewers almost always ask questions like 'what interests you....' or 'why did you choose....' Sharing your interests is a way for the interviewer to get to know you. Additionally, sharing what interests you the most will help the interviewer try to find placement for you within that preference.

"As early as I can remember I've had an interest in the neurological system. But as I've gone through my schooling my particular passion is to find cures for neurological disorders. It is my hope contribute something of significance to this field as my career develops."
