[Mr.Smile12]

What is your purpose as a physician? What do you want to do 10 years from now?

I'm concerned that not having community service activities outside a clinical environment in the last 5 years is helpful to your application. I would need more insight to your free clinic work, but service orientation outside of a health care setting is going to hold you back.
