I don't think that there is any "right" answer to that question. Each person will have their own reason based on their individual experiences. Unless your applying to IM as a back up, just go with the honest answer.
Completely agree with you

thank you robbin ,but I didnot ask for your personal experience.I asked the general answer .Like what attracted you to internal medicine ?
also tell me about yourself ?like what should be mentioned in it.
i donot understand why people think that it is competition and answering them will put them behind.this is what I always got answered when asked
thanks anyway

zzaa,
don't get upset. nobody is trying to hide information fromyou. this is a very personal question- everybody has a different reason to go into IM. I chose it because I enjoyed my IM rotations in med school tremendously. you? I don't know....And when they ask about your personality- tell them a little about you(remember keep it short)- where did you grow up, why medicine, what you enjoy in life and in your profession, your goals- this question can be answered in 1000 different ways, there is no right or wrong. don't panick so much! be honest and engaging - you are telling a story, the story of your life.
good luck!

thank you medicus for your answer.I just got upset because everybody thinks that I am trying to get their personal information ,or if i get their answers they will have less chance of performing in interviews.
I posted this in another forum and everybody was so insecure about telling their secrets.
The forums are there to help ? right.

Any answer is correct, bud. Some might talk from an academic point of view, citing that they did well in their int. med rotations. Some might talk about a specific field, and what they find attractive about it eg cardio, nephro. Some might talk about family history and say they felt like it was their "calling" because they had a family member that [blah blash blah].
There is no wrong answer, friend.
