Absolutely. Make sure this is something you are comfortable speaking about in an interview as anything and everything you put into your application is fair game.Hi,
Growing up my mom struggled with a rare type of cancer. Once she divorced my father I started to take her and accompany her to her appointments, surgeries, radiation treatments, etc. Seeing this really focused my passion and interest to medicine from science. In my intro on my PS I would like to talk about this, would that be appropriate? I am not trying to be a sob story or anything but it is an important reason for why I am pursuing medicine.
Thanks.
