Build a "service to others" resume. Being a doctor is about more than healing people, it is about continual learning and the application of new technology and breakthroughs. Pick an innovative environment for your residency, volunteer in third-world countries, or join a fellowship to help conquer disease and illness around the world. All of these things show a level of compassion that is desired in a Surgeon General.
