Which creed line states that service to the community and the world should help me make the best use of my knowledge and talents?

• A. I believe through my service to my community and to the world, I will make the best use of my knowledge and talents.
• B. I recognize the universal need for quality compassionate healthcare.
• C. I understand the importance of academic excellence, skills, training, and leadership development in my career pathway.
• D. I accept the responsibility of a health care professional and seek to find my place on a team equally committed to the wellbeing of others.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that serving others is the way you apply what you know and what you can do. This creed line directly links helping the community and the world with making the best use of your knowledge and talents, meaning real service is how your abilities find their purpose and are most fully expressed. The other lines focus on healthcare needs, on academic and leadership development, or on professional responsibility and teamwork, but they don’t tie service to the fullest use of your abilities in the same direct way.
