What are your general comments?
Over all the experience was very good. The school is brand new so its very nice. There is a big push for technology so they have state-of-the- art equipment. The school is located in a very nice part of Mesa, just about 15 minutes from the mountains. The method of teaching the material which is through case-studies seems very interesting and innovative.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The ethics liver transplant questions, see above.
What was the most interesting question?
Probably the ethics question that I state for the next question. The other question were pretty standard. Expain a positive and negative aspect of universal healthcare. What kind of practice I would like to have. How I would keep up with current medical knowledge after school.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Visited schools website and this website for interview question ideas.
What was the most difficult question?
An ethical question, wether I would give a liver transplant to a felon who surgery would be paid for by the state or to a single mom who didnt qualify for assistance but could not afford the procedure. After I answered I was asked to make the case for the person I did not pick.
What impressed you positively?
The use of the clinical presentation model as method of teaching the curriculum.
What impressed you negatively?
The only thing I didnt like was that there would be no actual dissecting in the anatomy lab, the corpses are pre-dissected.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Theres a file review. Its only about 10 minutes but I wish I had prepared a little more about what I had to say about my grades/MCAT scores.
