What is the motivation behind you applying to medicine?

The answer to this question should include your motivation for applying (backed with examples) as well as representing an understating for the medical profession in general. The ideal answer would be succinct and focus on 1 or 2 points that has prompted you to apply to medicine. While you might think the answer could sound cliche, it is best practice to make the answer true, even if your motivation behind applying to medical school could be considered 'ordinary'. Avoid using monetary considerations as a sole motivation for applying to medicine, instead try focusing on the 'doing good' aspect and the ability to make a change for patients.
