I am hoping to get some opinions on expanding on my "why our school" response. I've been looking into the various free clinic program that many schools offer to their communities, because free clinic work is my #1 extra-curricular I would like to participate in during my medical school education. Would it be appropriate (character limit permitting) to include why I'd like to get involved if my reasons involve not me, but my SO?
My SO was uninsured for a long time, and unfortunately did not qualify for ACA since we live in a state that did not expand medicaid. Free clinics were the only way that he could receive medical care. Although he is now insured (yay!), I've really seen first hand what a huge impact these free clinics have on individuals in this situation.
