Visited schools website and this website for interview question ideas.

The use of the clinical presentation model as method of teaching the curriculum.

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.

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.
