💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Talk about specific experiences in application.
Weird heart transplant situation. I had to choose between a 35 year old drugee and a nice 70 year old grandpa. No right answer, I think they want to see how you think.
Why do you want to be a doctor and when did this desire begin to crystallize?

What was the most interesting question?

The faculty interview was great - informal/conversational. The 4th year interview was strange because he simply pulled out a sheet of ''good'' questions. The most interesting involved a heart transplant dilema and deciding between two patients - a 35 year old drugee or a 70 year old grandfather.

What was the most difficult question?

Either the one above or another weird situational question about uniting my clinical rotation team as a third year med student.
