Supplemental essays

  1. Give an example when you have shown resilience and how you would overcome academic adversity if encountered in medical school.
  2. In what ways do you plan to contribute to the Morehouse School of Medicine community, both during your time as a student and beyond?
  3. Imagine you’re a healthcare provider working at a community clinic with limited resources. You’re responsible for distributing a small number of free glucose monitors to patients with diabetes. You have two patients who qualify: one is highly engaged, follows care instructions, and has shown consistent improvement. The other struggles with managing their condition due to low literacy, language barriers, and unstable housing, and often misses appointments. You only have one monitor left. Who do you give it to—and why? How would you navigate this situation in a way that reflects a commitment to health equity?
