Motivation & Insight into Medicine 14
What branch of medicine interests you most? What do you want to specialise in?
A clear certainty regarding long term career ambition is often a sign of naivety given one’s limited medical experience prior to entering medical school.
Average Candidate Response
I would like to be a cardiothoracic surgeon/paediatrician as I have always wanted to pursue this from a young age, and really enjoyed my experience of this field during work experience.
Excellent Candidate Response
I am still not too sure as I currently have a very limited insight but from what I have seen on work experience, rheumatology has particularly interested me as I was intrigued by how rheumatic diseases are the leading cause of disability in our society. Also, I feel that this speciality will be increasingly important in the future due to our ageing population, and the fact that many rheumatic diseases have lifelong manifestations.
