What are your general comments?
I felt pretty confident leaving it. They do a nice, fairly short day so it's not so exhausting, and I got to interview right away- I was done by 2:15.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about your research. Tell me about your clinical experiences.
What was the most interesting question?
You're a gynecologist and morally opposed to abortion, but a patient comes to ask you to perform one for her, what do you do?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read website- read 'Ripley Bogle' by Robert McLiam Wilson to relax. (Great book)
What impressed you positively?
THE CLINICAL SKILLS SIMULATION FACILITY I'm not sure if you know, but the boards now consist of a written part AND a clinical skills, $1000 practical test. The other schools mentioned this, but OSU has this AWESOME facility with 14 exam rooms, over 200 volunteer standardized patients, a $500,000 manikin that will respond to EVERYTHING you do to it, even drug dosages and blood draws. (It's pupils even dilate!) So they've put time and $$$ into preparing their students for this new board exam.
What impressed you negatively?
Columbus humidity - guess you have to live with it though
