What are your general comments?
Intense. The interviewer didn't let me off the hook with my answers. He challenged me and asked very engaging questions. We got into a nice debate about the local hospital's evolution into a state-of-the-art healthcare facility. He told me that I did very well at the end, which was wonderful to hear.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a doctor?
What was the most interesting question?
If someone found a homeless person passed out downtown and they were brought to the hospital, do you think that they would be denied care? Why or why not?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview, spoke with students and faculty from the school, reviewed my application, read up on medical ethics and health news.
What was the most difficult question?
What is your responsibility to one of your patients who refuses to stop smoking but wants a cure for one of their smoking-related medical issues?
What impressed you positively?
Laid-back and supportive students and admissions staff. A wonderful time to apply to UVM because of the new curriculum, new addition onto the hospital, and new medical education center on the school.
What impressed you negatively?
Would have liked a more diverse cross-section of the student body to interact with during the lunch chat session. The three students were friendly and knowledgable but were very similar.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That my interviewer would not be laid-back like the majority of the interviewers are. He gave a WONDERFUL interview but challenged me quite a bit with his questions.
