What was the most difficult question?

What personal quality do you think is most important in order for a doctor to form strong relationships with patients? I didn't think this was particularly difficult, but I struggled to find the word "trust" for about a minute before he prompted me with the word. It definitely killed my mojo for a sec, but I think I recovered well enough.

I read up at SDN, read my personal statement, went to the pre-interview social with some M1 and M2 students the night before. I STRONGLY recommend this! Go there and have a drink with the students, get to know the school, and have a good time!

What are your general comments?

I had a great time, and really loved the school. The medical center is HUGE so wear shoes you can walk in, or at least wear for an extended period of time. Dr. Jones is really nice and a really great person to talk to, especially if you are from out of state. He can answer most of your questions.
