💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why MD/PhD? Why not just MD? Why not just PhD?
What was the most interesting question?
Recently some lawsuits have gone to a higher court regarding experimental medications and their availability to the public. Do you think such medications should be available to the public? ... long conversation from there
How did you prepare for the interview?
this website, went over my application, checked out the school's website
What was the most difficult question?
Have you ever been to an ER? Do you know what race most of the people in the ER are?
What impressed you positively?
UAMS has some great facilities. They are really focused on making great doctors (and researchers which is a huge plus for MD/PhD applicants =). They allow you to interact with standardized patients in the first year of school, and from what I understand you may request a standardized patient at any time if you would like to gain additional experience or practice before an exam.
What impressed you negatively?
I am from CA so of course this area is quite small and quaint. Personally this was not negative, but this could be a negative point to some people. So if you are looking for a lively diverse area, this probably is not the place for you.
