What do you think will be the biggest difficulty that you will experience in medical school and as a doctor? What type of patient would it be hardest for you to treat (for example, a drunk driver or someone with an infectious disease)? What is the greatest issue in the medical field today? What do you feel most contributes to the cost of health care? All of my interviewers asked where I saw myself in ten years. Other people were asked about what you would do if parents had religious issues and didn't want you to treat their child.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I had afternoon interviews, so the morning was filled with talks about what to expect, how they accept students, financial aid discussion, lunch, and waiting! My first interview was open-file, one-on-one. The second interview was closed-file, two-on-one. Each interview lasted 30 minutes. I was asked many, many questions! The other students who were also interviewing that day were really friendly. You spend a lot of time waiting, so be prepared to sit around a bit.
