This site, my application, UW bioethics site, UW interview video online, many sites on health issues and current events/stands on health issues, Mock Interviews by UC D 4th yr medical student and Stanford 1st yr medical student.

What impressed you positively?

High tech facility of the medical center in Sacramento, many student run clinic for early hands on practice of medicine.

What impressed you negatively?

Medical student said some courses are not taught in the best way. Although it could be like this in other schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we would not have student interviews that day.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a very good day and experience. My interviewer, Dr Faith Fitzgerald was awesome, we had so much to talk about. Although none of the dilemma/etnical questions I spent days reading about was asked beside the difficult question. She really asked deeper/probing question to get to the bottom of why medicine question. I was prepared so am glad. by the way, lunch is provided, very nice variety of food at the davis campus cafeteria
