Why do we have an internal review board for human subjects research- dont physicians have good judjement on whats good for their patients? (I was certified for HSR in order to do a clinical study at AMC)

Report Response | I was asked this too

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

If you are a new intern in a hospital, and one of your patients is a convicted and confessed child molester, who is in pain. You need permission to push meds, but when u go to the only attending in your departement (and the one who is in charge of your activities and evaluations) says "let the bastard suffer, he deserves it!" What do u do? What do u think of the US Healthcare system- what would u do to change it?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed application, prayed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How happy the students were, including the other interviewees (most seemed like very grounded people,) how laid back the atmosphere was, and how accomididating and encouraging the Director of Admissions, Mrs. Nanos was.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing (I was raised in Albany and AMC is my first choice- I love it here)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing... I knew myself and the school(thanks to previous volunteer exp and SDN) so there was nothing to worry about.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Very positive. I know a lot of people who go here and are VERY happy with their choice (even if it was originally their last choice.) Organ systems approach to curriculum with testing in blocks. Modified pass/fail (ie you get recognition if you are at either extreme end of the bell curve) About the weather, Albany does get cold, and when driving through some parts of Albany it doesn't look too nice, but it is a great community to live in. Big enough to have walking access to shopping/resturants/bars/school (last but not least of course lol), and easy access to NYC as well as the Adirondack Mountains (skiing, camping boating, hiking mountain biking,) but small enough that you dont worry about parking (too much) and you can live really cheap near the school (I was raised around the corner)
