💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How did you learn about osteopathic medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

In relation to my present job enrolling patients in cancer research trials: "Do you feel there is ever a conflict between asking a patient to be involved in research and the best treatment for the patient?"

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application, their website, and my prior research. Got a good nights sleep.

What was the most difficult question?

Same as above

What impressed you positively?

The student's positive attitude and willingness of faculty and students to hang out and answer questions. The lectures I attended before the interview - an OMM demo.

What impressed you negatively?

Hard to get alot across in a 30 minute interview. I felt like I discussed my research too much.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Try to convey your interest in osteopathy and pay attention who you run into - our tour group met with the dean of admissions informally and unknowingly during the tour.
