💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How do you think travelling abroad has effected your view of medicine? Why do you think cultural sensitivity is important for a physician, and how can you ensure that in your work as a physician?
Just a LOT of personal stuff from my file--they did an excellent job of figuring out what I was about and really getting to the core of why I want to be a doc.
The typical--why do you want to go into medicine, tell me about yourself, etc.

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked about a family planning clinic experience abroad and how I thought family planning was perceived by that culture and why.

What was the most difficult question?

Have you ever been PAID for your health care experiences? (I've done a TON of volunteering, and this just seemed to be a horrible question in that light--I still don't know what they were getting at.)
