💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

A lot of ethics questions, and a lot of questions in general about me.
Where do you see yourself in 15 years?
Why medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

About medical error, if I had ever seen one in my volunteer experience and how did I handle it.

What was the most difficult question?

Two people come in to the ED, same exact conditions and both are in a state of emergency. One is a banker and has insurance, one is a homeless man. The hospital administrator calls you and says they need to start thinking about finances, and tells you, since you only have one cath lab to deal with these heart attack patients, to admit the banker and send the homeless man elsewhere. Who do you admit?
