Narrative/Theme/Interests:
bridging the knowledge gap in medical and non-medical communities using a passion for art

Is there a reason why you didn't want to go into art therapy? How strong is your interest in medical humanities?

I see art as more of a tool to enhance patient education/literacy, not as a substitute for the depth of medical practice I would like to do.

Well, that's not what you implied in your narrative. Bridging the knowledge gap through effective communication -- including art or humanities -- is important to address in our healthcare system. I'm not sure you must be a doctor/physician to do this. (I'm just pointing out what screeners might think.) These skills are useful for teachers, and we need a lot of teachers and public/community health/social workers.

Ohhh I see what you're saying, and I definitely don’t want my narrative to make it seem like medicine isn’t my clear goal.
My intention has always been to apply these skills in a clinical setting, where I can combine patient care with education to improve health outcomes. Is there a way I can better frame my activities or writing to make it clearer that I want to be a physician?

Can you give me an example of a time when patient care with education would improve health outcomes, based on your shadowing physicians?
