💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How can we correct the insurance problem (all the people without insurance)?
What do you think about the doc in a box clinics they are setting up in Walmart's?
Why will a hospital or practice pick you vs a foreign trained doctor who they can pay less?

What was the most interesting question?

About stem cell research, which had just been passed in the state of missouri a few days before.

What was the most difficult question?

RANDOM questions about foreign professionals workin in the states and inurance, the questions werent that hard but they were all strung together AWFULLY! And the interviewer got lost in his own question and though I answered wrong- CALLED ME UNPATRIOTIC, umm he was foreign.... strange to say the least. (I was called unpatriotic because I believe in people working for a living instead of med student wives staying home collecting WIC, food stamps and free insurance while I chose to work and pay for it!)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to friends who are in medical school, researched websites including this and the admissions staff.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff.

What impressed you negatively?

The M.D who interviewed me during my physician interview- Uh she is an M.D. interviewing candidates for a D.O. school needless to say she couldnt answer any questions from experience. And that I had this awful foreign professor who just wanted to make someone sweat. He asked all kinds of foreign doctors in the US questions and basically tried to get me to trash that happening (hes foreign), could hardly understand him and NOT ONE question had to do with me or my file AT ALL!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known who I was interviewing with, I would have changed days!! 2 of my 3 were horrible at interviewing candidate, one had only worked for the school a few months. It was sorta sad, I got screwed on that part.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was okay. I had done a lot of volunteer work and job shadowing so I think that shown through, even though I dont think my interviewers were great I dont feel I did bad, I just wouldnt wish them on anyone!
