How should I write my answer to "Why do you want to study medicine?"

There is no need to rehearse a whole answer, and typically interviewers are not a fan of this anyway, since it is often obvious when an answer sounds recited. So just collect your thoughts on your main points to you answer, and summarise it into 4 main "sub-headings" which you can refer to in your head during in the interview. This way, you will feel prepared with prompts on the points you want to make, but not sound rehearsed and so your reasons will sound genuine and convincing to the interviewer.4 main points could include:Main motivation to study medicinePersonal experienceWork experienceLong-term career goal
