". The mission of the UCR School of Medicine is to improve the health of the people of California and, especially, to serve Inland Southern California by training a diverse workforce of physicians and by developing innovative research and health care delivery programs that will improve the health of the medically underserved in the region and become models to be emulated throughout the state and nation. What experiences, skills, and abilities will you bring to the class to fulfill this mission? "

Do I just talk about one particular experience that I have or is it better to have multiple and not go as deep into it? 250 word limit

Hi there,

We suggest quality over quantity and that usually means bringing in fewer experiences and going into depth with those you choose to include. State what the experience was, what your role and responsibilities were within this experience, what you learned from it, and how this will make you a great candidate at this particular school. If the experience you choose to share can hit on more than one point (eg. if you used a novel way to treat an underserved patient), that would be ideal. And in your conclusion sentence or two, if you have the space to add something school-specific (for example, a free clinic at Riverside that you are excited to join), then that can show the committee that you are passionate about their program.

Best of luck!
