What are your general comments?

Basically for the faculty interviewer you will need to know (at least in my case) how to describe your undergraduate experiences and general ethical issues, and for the student interviewer be sure to study generic med school interview questions (historical figure you would you like to have dinner with, proudest accomplishments...etc). Bring copies of your resume.

Interview questions they asked

Faculty - Tell me about yourself; Tell me about your research; Why UNR; General ethical issues...etc.

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Please discuss a current ethical issue debated in medicine (and society) and present both the pros and cons of the issue.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

If a patient is on Medicaid and is severely allergic to a generic drug (and needs an expensive brand name drug instead), what would you do?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website and other websites with practice interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

I was interviewed by a former dean of the school. He was extremely passionate about the program.

What impressed you negatively?

I was not too impressed with some of the students we ran into during the tour. Very rowdy and stressed out (one even told us not to come here).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing - their website is very informative.
