Describe a lecture in medical school that inspired you to take action or make a change.
Miscellaneous
Purpose
Interviewers want to see if something in your education moved you beyond passive learning. Did it change your perspective, motivate you to do something differently, or spark a new interest?
Tips
- Think of a specific lecture that genuinely influenced you.
- Briefly set the scene: what was the lecture about and why it resonated.
- Focus on the action or change it prompted in you. Be concrete and specific.
Common mistakes
- Avoid saying no lecture inspired you. It might make you seem passive.
- Don't give generic answers like 'there were many inspiring lectures.'
- Avoid attributing a change to something trivial without meaningful context.
