💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

NDA

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practicing MMI questions

What impressed you positively?

faculty/facilities/ early patient interaction

What impressed you negatively?

CHC uncertainty both selecting one and once you are there. They can lose a hospital site etc. and then you may have to spend months somewhere else. It's a lot of "moving" and as a result you lose access to the nice facilities in AZ. You spend 3 years at CHC yet never get to "see" it before hand. Seems like 1st year curriculum is more brutal than other schools to compensate for clinic time in 2nd year.
