Know NOSM's curriculum, teaching style, general program requirements as they may ask about your learning style, or what you think of specific things (all stuff you can get from their website)

Really think about qualities you possess that will make you a good MD and good NOSM student and emphasize these qualities in EVERY answer.

What was the most interesting question?

I was surprised at how specific the issues were in the questions (lots of medical ethics).....REALLY make an effort at throwing in personal examples at every station or else the interviewer will not get to know you.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

A scenario was given and you had to answer how you would deal with it with specific knowledge about the Canadian Health care system....have an idea about what is covered and what is not.
