💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What's the biggest problem in healthcare and how would you fix it?
You have a medicine that must be given in doses of 10 mg/kg and a patient that weighs 50 lbs. How do you figure out how much medicine to give?
You've been asked by the prison to perform an execution through an injection and then later to preside over another one. Would you do either of them?

What was the most interesting question?

There weren't any real ''interesting'' questions.

What was the most difficult question?

You are a family physician and a man comes in with his wife who is obviously demented. He tells you he can't take care of her anymore, he's too old and doesn't know what to do. You live in a state where physician assisted suicides are legal. What do you do?

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing, really. Read over SDN and did a little research on HMOs (only one site though).

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were beautiful because they are brand new. You also get a laptop and pda (well, technically you're probably paying for it through tuition). Lunch was really good.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing much; the second years were having a test so they weren't able to do the tour. It was a little chaotic because they were trying to find someone else to do it (they settled on first years who were nice).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

It was pretty laid back. The interviewers asked me a lot of ethical questions, some of which I wasn't really prepared to answer. I wouldn't go so far as to say it felt like a conversation, probably because there were so many tough questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
