Report Response | I was asked this too

So you gave the liver to _____. The other two people die. How do feel about killing them??

Report Response | I was asked this too

You are a physician in a transplant department, and have only one liver. Three patients come in with identical backgrounds and medical history. They all are married and have two kids in high school. They all got on the transplant list at the same time. The only difference between the three are their jobs: (1) a milk and bread delivery man; (2) a plant manager in a town of 10,000 who employs a tenth of the population, and (3) a physician in a town of 6,000 people, with no other doctors available in a 50-mile radius. Who do you give the liver to?

What impressed you positively?

The tour of the school was an absolute joy! Even though I was wearing uncomfortable heels, keeping up with the two girls that were giving the tour made me forget all about it! They were spunky, hilarious, and very easy-going.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviews is an M.D. doing research at the D.O. school, and he was actually trying to convince me to go to an M.D. school rather than TCOM!! He said that D.O.s are just not as good as M.D.s and that the COMLEX as easier than USMLE, and that people will just never treat them the same. He made it sound like of you get a D.O. degree instead of an M.D., you will have that scar on you for the rest of your life. It was really scary!!!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

My first interview had lasted for an hour and 20 minutes, and it was absolutely amazing! The gentleman that I was talking to was a D.O./Ph.D., and he treated me like I was a member of his family. He told me everything about him, asked me about my relatives, and when the time came for the ethical questions, he guided me through every step of them. The interview was an absolute breeze.
