💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

The baby question (above), what are your biggest strengths/weaknesses, what books have you read? How would you fix the US system of healthcare delivery?
What would you do if a 14 yo girl came to you pregnant, wanting an abortion, but insists her parents will "kill her" if they find out... after pressing, you find out it was her dad's baby! What do you do then?
Why EVMS? Why choose you if one spot?

What was the most interesting question?

If you were the doctor and a mother just delivered a baby with a known genetic disease and will die in a week and the baby went into arrest, would you resussitate (the mother is in a coma and can't help you)?

What was the most difficult question?

Since Medicare recently got Rx approval, what do we do about the children who desparately need funding for vaccines, Rx's, etc? Is it right to give that money to the elderly and not to children? What would you do? How would you divide the dollar?

Studied this website, then studied on the internet about stem cell research, the US healthcare system, the uninsured, etc.

The students- they all loved it, were very helpful- even ones not giving tours!

How nice Norfolk is!

What are your general comments?

It was stressful- one older guy (on the board, he told me himself!) asked the "book" questions (strengths/weaknesses, why this school, etc) and another peds MD asked q after q of situational/ethical questions- it was a lot!
