Wow...same questions from when I applied 5 years ago. So I answered that question as like 45% practicing medicine, 45% patients, and 5% each for the others. Spoke some stuff about how I felt half of medicine was educating the pt and such for a collaborative health care partnership (really was optimistic back then). I thought it was pretty good and one of my interviewers commented on it positively. I got waitlisted with them and withdrew early on after I got in some other places that were higher up on my list but it got me an interview. Ultimately, I think they are looking for originality that dovetails with your personal philosophy of medicine. Decide what your vision is and answer the question accordingly.
