Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

As a medical student in a clerkship, if your physician supervisor accidently prescribes the wrong medication to a patient (which causes no harm to the patient), do you feel the patient should be informed? If your supervisor was unwilling to tell the patient, what would you do? If he asked you to communicate the error to the patient, what would you say (my interviewer made me roll play the situation by him being the patient and myself being the medical student)?

What are your general comments?

My interviewer went over a list of questions he was given to ask me. After that, we talked about his research for a little bit. So, its a good idea to learn about your interviewer (via the Internet, etc.) before your interview. Besides this, I was not asked a single question about anything on my application.
