Do you have any questions for me? Anything else you'd like to tell me that isn't in your app?

Tell me about the US healthcare system? Is it good enough? What would you do to improve it if you had the power to? Should all diseases be treated?

What was the most interesting question?

Besides diabetic interventions, what Other things need to be done if a patient's pancrease is removed? (I work in an organ transplant unit and the interviewer is a physiology prof)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Interviewer said that he thinks some diseases shouldn't be treated in certain cases (ones that are largely due to patient lifestyle) because the cost of treatment for some of these diseases is what is causing the high price and unavailability of healthcare. Then he asked me what I thought about that.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, read over my AMCAS and secondary (He asked me questions based on my experiences taht I listed).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

You can eat as much food from the cafeteria that you want when you have lunch (people were eating ~$20 meals), the student ambassadors were very enthousiastic. They gave us great info about what sets their program apart from others - which was good to hear since my interview was later in the day, and the cpre teaching hospital and the rest of the health campus is all connected to eachother via tunnels (it gets cold in MN in the winter). They are renovating all the classrooms.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. We didn't get to sit in on a class because there were none scheduled since everyone had tests the day before. I was looking forward to watching a lecture.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was pretty well informed about everything, but people should read up on the MED 2010 initiative, the flex MD program, and the U of MN's goal to become a top 3 public research institution in the next decade. They want to know why you want to attend there, and you might interview early in the day before the presentations about this material

Report Response | I was asked this too

Very laid back and informative. I didn't have any hard ethical questions, just a ''get to know me'' interview.
