QUESTION 11 OF 30

Who has inspired you the most in your life?

The interviewers will ask this question to see if someone motivated you to pursue a career as an ENT physician and to hear how you communicate and connect with others. It is best to describe a person you are close to and avoid political or religious figures. You do not know the interviewers' beliefs and do not want to offend anyone.

"The person who has inspired me the most in my life is my brother. My parents were killed in an airplane crash when I was ten, and my brother was eighteen. He went to court to become my guardian and raised me by himself. He worked three jobs to support us and never once complained. Even though we were both grieving, he was always there and was an incredible role model. He taught me the value of hard work, setting goals, and achieving dreams. He went on to become a neurosurgeon and is the reason I chose to pursue a career in medicine."
