How to enable yourself to stand out among thousands of candidates
This seminar will not
- Show you how to write another cliché-laden sentimental personal statement about how you like providing comprehensive continuity of care with compassion
- Coach you on how to respond passively to the commonest questions the interviewer may throw at you
Instead this seminar will
- Provide you with facts, data and resources on primary care systems from both American and international perspectives, so you can shine by discussing them in your refreshingly crisp and concise personal statement
- Impress the interviewers by proactively steering them to these topics and carrying on a cultured, sophisticated and spirit-lifting dialogue with them

Personal statement editing
The art of selling yourself without talking about yourself
Don't
Do not brag about what type of person you are.
Do
Instead, discuss the values you have acquired and the lessons you have learned in your professional and personal journeys.
Don't
Do not talk for paragraphs about how your mother worked long hours to put you through medical school.
Do
Rather, highlight specifically what made you decide to go into family practice or internal medicine.
Don't
Do not talk about how compassionate you are about providing comprehensive care for the individual or the family.
Do
Alternatively, talk about the strengths and weaknesses of our healthcare delivery system, which is at the heart of primary care.
Don't
Do not emphasise the importance of making diagnosis and treatments using a high-technology approach.
Do
If possible, showcase the importance of social care by family members and allied health professionals in chronic care management.
Personal Statements
