12. Anything else not listed you think might be important:
    1. speak Spanish

What is your mission as a physician? Other than your 2-year mission, service orientation activities feel light.

Most of my activities and work experiences have been centered around serving rural populations (and Hispanic), plus being from an area just like those I’m aiming to practice in places without a large healthcare presence. Not sure if I answered your question too well though haha.

You have a good list and should receive several interviews.
