💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How do you handle stress?

What was the most interesting question?

If a member of your gross anatomy group was not performing well....How would you handle this? I had said I would approach them and talk to them about it. The said "What if that didn't work?" Because part of your grade is based on how well everyone in the group does, the interviewer wanted me to say that I would approach the instructor and inform them before it had any negative impact on the group.

What was the most difficult question?

The most difficult question was also my most interesting question.
