💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Most of them dealt with my willingness to be a rural physician? They really wanted to make sure I sincerely wanted to pursue family medicine!
What was the most interesting question?
What role does a rural physician play in Northern Minnesota?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read up on the school, reviewed my materials, and explored the Duluth area the day before to get a feel for the town.
What was the most difficult question?
Since you have a master's degree how do we know that you won't want to get a PhD and do research after you are done with medical school. (they want rural physicians).
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers were very well prepared and very interested in what I had done and what I was doing with the rest of this year.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities were rather small (only two exam rooms) and the students stayed in the same lecture hall all day for classes..

The paucity of medical school space and the relative inconvenience of having the teaching hospitals located across town.
