Can you tell me how to answer the interview question: 'Why do you want to study Medicine?'

This answer needs to reflect your personal statement’s opening paragraph but needs to be more detailed as you would’ve been restricted due to the word limit. It needs to include a combination of:1)    Your interest in medical sciences2)    Your passion for working with others and helping peopleThis can be demonstrated by talking about your work experience and care home/hospice experiences and reflecting on it – telling the interviewer what you learnt and how it affected you. Talking about interesting procedures or scientific advancements will also show the interviewer that you are a keen and well-informed applicant. Also remember to explain your points and not just state them.
