Gevitz, preped for interview questions, read over application
What was the most difficult question?
How do you expect to be able to come into a rural community as a physician and gain the trust of the community? (phrased 3 different ways)
What impressed you positively?
The people seem really excited to be there and to recruit the best and the brightest. They seem to be looking for visionaries to shape the future of the school. The area is beautiful and the rent cheap.
What impressed you negatively?
they specifically told us they were only sending yes or no answers at this time; oddly, I was put on the alternate list.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I interviewed on Monday and they were making decisions on Thursday. Make sure you have shadowed a DO. I didn't think this was possible since I work full time, but that question took many points away; needless to say, I'm taking the day off Monday to do so before my next interview.
