How do I write about my various interests and extra-curricular for a medical school application?

Medical school personal statements can be difficult to write as you are addressing why you would like to be a doctor and you must think about the profession, rather than a single subject. Every description you provide about your interests in school, extra-curricular activities and work experience must be justified and explained concisely to show why this would make you a better doctor. Understanding the core values of being a healthcare professional will help you to apply your current activities to your role in the hospital, these include:Showing you are a team player Willing to take on roles of leadershipThink on your feet and in stressful situations Capable of dealing with people in a compassionate and caring manner.
