Hey everyone!

Can someone please tell me the best way to answer "What qualities would make you a successful osteopathic physician?" But of course minus a big ego-trip. I'm not really how to answer that without coming off as conceited...
any help would be appreciated and thank you 🙂

You can start by listing the qualities you think are the most important for a physician to have. Then from that list choose the ones you think you can do great job on explaining them. However, the most important thing to keep in mind is: 1)show them your qualities, don't just state the qualities, and 2) be sincere. Hope this helps. My answer on this question was loooong.
Good luck:luck:
 
I wrote about my experiences, i.e success in school, volunteering, clubs, research, blah, blah, blah... and how each one of those experiences showed a different trait that would help me to become a successful physician, i.e determination, leadership, compassion, and so forth. I don't think it came of conceited at all and I got accepted. Good luck!
