WHY DID YOU CHOOSE FAMILY MEDICINE / PRACTICE ?

Time again for mining the Internet for Diamonds to fetch clues to answering this question ( which by the way can also be used to construct that personal statement)


"I chose family medicine because I want to be part of the long tradition of care for the whole patient and the whole family that is at the core of this specialty. I also wanted to be involved in community-based health care, particularly for the underserved population who would otherwise not be able to receive care"

"I chose this field because I want to practice in a field that requires a broad knowledge base and demands constant learning. Also, I loved pediatrics, medicine, and ob/gyn, and this specialty combines it all. I also like talking with different people, and family medicine allows you to form connections with entire families and communities"
