   How do you plan to continually grow as a physician assistant?

   You have an elevated degree; however, that doesn't mean that you stop learning once you have reached the top. Discuss your plans to take professional courses, obtain new certifications or focus on personal growth. You may also want to mention a class or volunteer position to highlight your commitment to professional growth.

   "I believe that working in healthcare is a non-ending learning experience. I would love to start by renewing my ACLS and ATLS courses. I love to attend national and international meetings that would discuss new trends in the field of primary care. I would keep my medical and clinical skills up to date by consistently reading new literature. In addition, I would love to have crash courses on performing and interpreting ultrasounds. I will be more than happy to listen to more suggestions that you might offer."

   Great response! My only feedback is that I suggest you change the phrase "non-ending learning experience" to "never-ending learning experience."
