Prompts:

1. Describe the community in which you were nurtured or spent the majority of your early development with respect to its demographics.

What improvements do you think might make the described community better?

2. Describe a situation where you have chosen to advocate for someone who is different from yourself. What does advocacy mean to you and how has your advocacy developed? How do you see it linked to your role as a physician/leader? What risks, if any, might be associated with your choice to be an advocate?

3. What has been your most humbling experience and how will that experience affect your interactions with your peers and patients.

4. What will challenge you the most in your career as a health care provider when you have to deal with people unlike yourself (e.g. gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, social background, and other difference)? How do you plan to address these? What resources do you plan to use to address these?

[Optional] Pick one of the following:
