💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Would you like a glass of water? (I refused since I didn't want them to reject me based on my lack of coordination, plus, I drank the water in the waiting room right before I walked into the conference room). Why do you want to be a DO?
What was the most interesting question?
If you had a patient who you had been friends with for a long amount of time, and he passed out in front of you because of an amphetamine overdose, would you report him to authorities?
What was the most difficult question?
If you had to choose between your top two choices, how would you decide (essentially what criteria would you use to decide on a school)?

What type of interview was it?
Open file
Where did the interview take place?
At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
I am obssessive compulsive and printed out ALL of the interview questions from this website.
I also spoke to a recent AZCOM graduate in order to find out more specific information about the school. I forgot to review my personal statement and application. I also skimmed an ethics book that had summaries of recent bioethical issues.
What impressed you positively?
The student ambassadors were extremely friendly and approachable. The campus and facilities were nice. I especially loved the anatomy lab. They had all of these flat screen tv's along with a moveable camera that could zoom in on parts of the cadavers. High tech! Wow! The admissions staff and interviewers put me at ease instantly.
What impressed you negatively?
The fact that the rotations are preceptor based and not done in teaching hospitals. I am assuming this is because they are a new school and are working on establishing their reputation and rapport with local hospitals.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The types of rotations available.
What are your general comments?
Don't forget to have at least two to three school-specific questions since they will expect for you to have questions for them.
