💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

The inevitible "what is wrong with healthcare today and how can we fix it?"
What do you do in your free time?
Would you like a tour of the Emergency Department?

What was the most interesting question?

Something about healthcare rationing in Oregon, i.e. what programs get funding and how the decisions are made.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing that difficult, I guess coming up with an answer for how to fix the health care system, a complete answer could take days. Entire books have been written on this topic all with different answers, as well as their own problems.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Same way I've prepared for the rest of my interviews, read everything I could get my hands on, books, newspapers, SDN, anything else I found interesting.

What impressed you positively?

Other interviewees. All of them were friendly, and we started up a converstaion fairly easily before the process started. Gives me hope that I'll get along with my fellow classmates.

What impressed you negatively?

Never been a big fan of Tucson. Had friends who went there for undergrad, they loved the school, but couldn't wait to get out of Tucson. w/ luck I'll only be there for two as I selected Phoenix for my 3rd and 4th years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really

What are your general comments?

All in all a good experience. Sounds like the school really supports the students and the students support each other. The CUP program sounds really interesting, and I like the opportunities available to travel abroad, you get to help people who really need it, and you get to travel which I love. Community physician interview went OK, not as good as the interview at UofA, but not horrible or anything.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
