Back again for advice, this time on the diversity prompt. Really struggling with finding a unique experience as an ORM and I understand that these don't hit each prompt exactly, more just looking for general path:
1. I'm Canadian, we are currently experiencing a record-high PCP shortage and I've seen how this deeply affects my immediate family, friends, and other groups. I'd like to be a PCP (talked about this in my PS) but in the immediate future, I've been able to impact this crisis by contributing to and developing community health initiatives that help disabled individuals who don't have PCPs managing their care, so I could talk about the importance of these programs. I don't have other takeaways from socialized medicine that I feel I could talk about positively or different perspectives but maybe I'm blinded from being here so if you have any ideas feel free to suggest.
2. My grandmother had breast cancer at 40, so I grew up with my mom having to get mammograms early and frequently and experiencing the stresses and benefits of that, I will have to as well. So the importance of preventative care, which I realize is inaccessible to many people because of the cost so I again could tie it back to community health, getting tested for the BRCA gene etc.
3. More a hobby, I was a national trivia champion in my senior year of high school, grew up doing trivia team and still in trivia club in college. As a novelty, I know a lot of random facts but this has led to me to connect well with individuals from differing backgrounds as well as patients because usually when they bring up obscure things I can hold a conversation. I feel that it's a unique attribute that none of my friends or people I interact with frequently have.
Thanks again. Even if it's tough advice I appreciate it.
