💬 Interview Questions

What was the most interesting question?

What would you do if you were an ER doctor in a hospital with a policy to refuse non-urgent care to patients due to budget constraints? (this was a no-stress question because the interviewer told me he just wanted to hear what i thought, since there is no right/wrong answer)

What was the most difficult question?

Everything felt very conversational...but if I had to pick something - "What do you see yourself doing in the future (as a physician)?"
