How did you go about answering the interview question, "why do you want to be a physician?"
I feel like I'm faced with two options:
1. Sound like an airhead
"I wanna be a doctor cuz I like science and I wanna help people."
2. Sound like a pompous self-indulgent loathsome gunner
"While engaging in several award-winning research projects, I found the saliance of the RAS oncogene to squamous cell carcinoma to be of the utmost interest to me. Therefore, I conclude that it would behoove me to partake in the pursuit of a discipline, the nature of which, would do justice to my intellectual prowess...."
Neither one of these vomit-inducing answers is very attractive. How did you approach the question, "why do you want to be a physician?"
