What are your general comments?
Arrive at USF and get a presentation from the admissions committee, then travelled to Tampa General where we were shown around the hospital (it's amazing!). Then had our interviews at the hospital, one faculty, one student. Very relaxed.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What does "humanism in medicine" mean to you? I confessed that I had only heard this term at USF, but then gave an answer about treating the "whole patient."
How did you prepare for the interview?
Talked with current students, read USF Website, SDN
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing really... I mean, "tell me something interesting about yourself.." is always a little awkward.
What impressed you positively?
The Admissions staff was very kind, upbeat, and really made you feel comfortable. The clinical curriculum, specifically the LCE is amazing!
What impressed you negatively?
While the facilities were nice, I've seen better. Furthermore, the USF Health thing where you have to share clinical rooms with nursing students seems pretty rinky dink.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That my student hosts had exams the next day... that kept them from showing us around the town more or getting to eat in some cool restaurants.
