What are your general comments?
The interview was fairly cordial. I was led into one of the PBL rooms to interview with a DO and a Microbio/Immunology PhD. They had a list of prescribed questions, which they scribbled upon furiously while you responded. The only major questions that were asked you can find in these reviews. Why Medicine/DO/Bradenton? Leadership style, strengths/weaknesses, conflict management, article summarization (really easy article, no specifics asked, just quick summation)
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why Medicine? Why Osteopathic? Why Bradenton?
What was the most interesting question?
All questions were read off a prescribed list of Qs, and they tried to make stretches to make it seem more conversational... but the most interesting was ''What is your leadership style, and how have you used it in the past?''
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, any questions I was asked, you can find on this website. Other than that, mock-interviews and re-read primary and secondary apps.
What impressed you positively?
The enthusiasm of the students for PBL and manipulation. Students at lunch made it seem like there was a pretty active social life.
What impressed you negatively?
The clown pictures on the third floor. Seriously creepy. And don't tell us that you can hear them running around at night.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Anatomy was an intensive 10 week course. Memorize or die... then maybe you can move onto PBL
