💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What are three things you would change in US healthcare right now if you had all the money in the world (i gave them two, asked for a moment to think of the third, and they stopped me, admitting the question was hard and moved on. They try to intimidate you but they are good men at heart, just be yourself)
What utensil would you be (answer fast, they are trying to see how adaptable you are). ALSO they asked "we all know smoking is bad. If you owned a hospital would you make all your employees stop smoking outside of the workplace for their safety?" (the answer is no, because you cannot infringe on someone's lifestyle, even if it would benefit them, it comes down to autonomy, The interviewer will question you, again and again, to try and make you crack but just stick with your answer). ALSO "if you had until the end of the day to give me the specialty of your choice, could you? (i said no because i may go through medical school and like something completely different, then they kept asking me "are you sure")
why medicine, why DO, why do you want to come to the desert? (he asked all 3 together as he leaned back in his chair with his hands over his head. It was a distraction to try and intimidate. He cut me off when I was trying to answer all three questions. They just use it as an opener. Stay calm and stay yourself, they are really nice people at heart.)

What impressed you positively?

the interviewers are really nice men, they try to act intimidating but at the end you know they are there for you. one of the best DO campuses and faculty, no complaints. very special curriculum. This school beats out some MD schools easily, it is soo professional and nice campus. also, the people that i interviewed with are of the highest quality students. they are smart and witty. you dont get that kind of crowd with all DO schools, trust me, this school is a keeper. ALSO they know that you have other options in DO and MD schools and they DONT PENALIZE YOU!!! its only 250$ to hold you place, unlike other schools that is 2-3 thousand $. They are soo nice and transparent. what a fair institution.
