Was there one physician I have worked with that I considered my role model?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

No difficult questions really. I got all the ethical questions (cigarette scenario, family divided over sustaining life support, resident reports attending physician is treating patient poorly), but it was more conversational; no right or wrong answer was expected, just wanted to know my thoughts, see that I could identifiy issues.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this page, read a great bioethics webiste (U of W School of Medicine Bioethics website)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Method of teaching: theme-based, very self-directed, small group learning.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Student Welcome the night before the interview wasn't well organized.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the student welcome the night before was more of a social thing and that all of the information was available the next day during the lunch/tour. Not that the student's weren't friendly (they were very!), but I had work to do and didn't have the time.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was expecting a very stressful interview from what people had written on this page, but it was very relaxed and conversational (for me at least - some people did come back from their interviews looking quite flustered). For the ethics questions I think they just want to see that you can think critically; identify issues, pros and cons of your stance (almost like talking it through so they can see your thought processes).
