And it feels wrong! I've read that I should be writing about why I want to be a doctor. That's what I did. I wrote about my interest in medicine, why I left my previous career, and what skills I have that would help me succeed in medical school and make me a good physician. The problem is I feel like that formula inevitably makes it very self-centered.
I briefly mentioned the patients I've seen during my clinical experience and how they affected me, but because I was told that the statement should focus on me and why I want to be a doctor, with "a sprinkle" of patient interaction thrown in, it's not the meat of the statement. Is that right?
Can someone who's already been through the process give me advice?
