I guess maybe if you said "I'm passionate about women's reproductive health" without expounding upon that thought it might come across as trite, but that key piece is really the introduction and then all those other bullet points are supporting pieces, as it were. The combination of those answers actually demonstrates that you are both passionate and knowledgeable about the <b>why</b>. Far from trite, they paint a picture of someone who's thought about this choice with great care, and is likely to remain committed to it! If you're worried, just practice putting those points together into a paragraph, and it'll be golden.Sunkist Misshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684845378959969113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432241016466674807.post-70587970250558889612012-01-24T04:15:59.083-08:002012-01-24T04:15:59.083-08:00Those sound like excellent answers to me, though I...Those sound like excellent answers to me, though I can understand how the further you get into it, the less adequate they might feel.

As if I should have a succinct answer in my back pocket that qualifies all of the above but also sounds articulate and well educated. That I know I'm not choosing the easiest field but it's still something I'm passionate about... I had the same trouble answering the question "why medical school" when I embarked on those interviews. My answer ended up being something along the lines of not being able to find any other profession that would satisfy me.physician activist in traininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879749561447480383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432241016466674807.post-59085537382950841712012-01-23T19:47:48.580-08:002012-01-23T19:47:48.580-08:00What's wrong with the old answer?
