what's the best way to approach the why medicine question during interviews? should the answer be straightforward in 3-4 sentences, or is it better to use a personal anecdote (i feel like that would make the answer way too long, plus i used most of my why medicine anecdotes for my personal statement and secondaries)

Just answer the question. Unless they’re asking for an entire monologue there’s no need to give a drawn out response. Just give the straight forward answer. If that answer for you includes an anecdote then include it.
Open or closed file?
Just answer the question!!!!

Just discuss what draws you to medicine. If there is a personal experience, talk about that. If there isn't, discuss what about medicine in general draws you in. Try to get your response to around 1-2 minutes in length!
