💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

If a terminally ill patient came up to you and asked you to help end his life (assuming i'm in Oregon where this is legal), what would I do?
It was a question based on the recent bill that the Government passed, which is regarding "partial baby pregnancies" or something to that order. Basically, the question asked my opinion on whether the government should impose laws restricting a patients freedom of choice/options.
What are your thoughts on abortion? Healthcare?

What was the most interesting question?

How did you prepare for the interview?

spoke with a 4th year student, read up on the school, healthcare, ethics, SDN web site

What impressed you positively?

the clincial skills lab, the faculty support, the opportunities for research, Children's Hospital is top 4 in nation, the Neurology Dept is the third most NIH funded public school.

What impressed you negatively?

all the rooms and lecture auditoriums are windowless...but I hear the school plans to build a new MSB within 6 years to address this problem. The library is going to go through reconstruction, so I'm not sure where the library will be located come next year.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

HOw much it can snow in Cincinatti!!!!!

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, so obviously I was nervous. My interviewer changed last minute (possibly due to the snow), so I interviewed with an MD from the Children's Hospital. But my interview was much more a conversation (which focused a lot on healthcare policy/ethics); still I learned a lot from the interviewer--very cool guy! The atmosphere in Cincinnati is very comfortable, and I hear that it's easy to live here. Many opps for research, teaching, education sounds solid.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
