💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
In 10 years, what ethical concerns will affect you as a physician?
What was the most interesting question?
What if you were working at hospital where a patient was just rushed to the emergency room requiring a ventilator? Problem is, the power goes out when you get one to the patient. The only one working is the one hooked up to a patient with a terminal disease and told by the family not to pull the plug. What would you do?

What are your general comments?
I loved the school. It's a systems based approach so you have a smooth transition from the first 2 years to the clinical rotations. I stayed with a first-year student before my interview. Defintely take up the offer because you get an insider's look at the school. I even got to go to a class. It was a huge interview group- about 20. So far, they say that 5 interview groups have been through the process- the final class will be around 230ish out of the 550 interviewed. THe chances are pretty good but I don't want to jinx myself. Plenty of hospitals in the area to get experience and preceptorship opportunities. They are setting up a new research facility for next year. Housing is very affordable. I would definitely go if I get accepted.
