Medical schools love to ask you about what qualities you possess that will make you a great physician:
Describe the distinguishable characteristics you possess and tell us how you think these characteristics will enhance your success as a medical student and future physician.
Start by brainstorming a list of characteristics that you think great physicians possess. Here’s a short list from the top of my head in no particular order:
Psychological maturity
Character and integrity
Self-discipline
Judgment
Compassion and empathy
Communication skills
Concern for helping others
Intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm
Analytical and problem-solving ability
Motivation and persistence
Reliability and dependability
Resilience and adaptability
Accountability
Leadership skills
Teamwork skills
Experience with and knowledge of medicine
Choose the qualities that you possess and that can be backed up with examples from your own life. For example, if you that you have leadership skills, be sure that you have leadership experiences to prove it.
