💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

As an engineer, what do you think will help you and what will hinder you from your background when you become a med student? From your experience in a primary care facility, what did you learn about Ontario's health care system? How would you improve the system? How do you feel about the Liberal party ousting Sheila Copps? (This question came because I am from her riding.) With examples, explain how you handle conflict with a fellow team member? What about conflict with a supervisor? Is there anything about the program at Queen's that impresses you? Anything that concerns you?
Do you have any questions for us? Beyond this list (the 'autobiographic sketch' list of activities) we don't know anything about you - is there anything additional you would like us to know?
Why med? Why Queen's? Tell me about your research. Tell me about your experience doing ___? (Many questions like this.) How do you manage your time? What do you do for fun? Do you have any siblings? Where are you from?
