How did you prepare for the interview?

read their very thorough ethics web site, read plenty of Uwe Rheinhert (sp?) he's a health economist.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The situation of the campus and harbor view hosp. How students who were WAMIed seem to really gel. And yes, my student host was great, giving me plenty of insight and introducing me to lots of other students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The curriculum is as traditional as it gets, and I had the feeling students here work harder than at other schools...but that's a good thing right? 28 hours of class time a week is more than other school i interviewed at.

No responses

What are your general comments?

I, like others who read this web site prior to the interview, went in ready for anything. I never felt intimidated, cornered, or stumped--and didn't get stuck defending my answers much. Rather, I felt that their line of questioning allowed me to show that I was prepared for the interview and to talk about a wide variety of subjects in and outside of medicine.
