💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

DO vs MD (what I think is that notable difference)
what problem is there in healthcare right now and how would you solve it in your practice
why DO, why TCOM, when did you realize you wanted to be a doctor, (both asked these questions)

What was the most interesting question?

3 people need a heart. all males, same age, same blood type, same chance of survival, happily married w/kids, were all put on the waiting list at the same time, the only difference is their profession. One is the only doctor of a small town (next closest doctor-60miles away), the second guy was a small town business owner (employed 500 people of the town), and the third was the town baker. Which one would you give the heart to and why? Follow up question:how do you feel about the other two guys that died because of your decision?

What was the most difficult question?

What new technology (medical) is out there currently and how would it effect you as a doctor?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, re-read applications, interviewed myself, read up on current medical innovations, read up on healthcare reform, read up on ethical issues in medicine. read up on DO philosophy and philosophy of the school.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone will say this, the anatomy lab! But also, I liked the way they sold manipulative medicine to me. Very passionate about it.

What impressed you negatively?

the fact that I wanted to stay with a student but they never contacted me until the day before my interview. I had already made accommadations. it was very rude of them to not get back with me in ample time. even if they just said hold on a bit we are looking for a place to place you.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing, I took flip flops for the walking around...campus is pretty small. a lot of down time for me, but I had reading material I brought along in my bag.

What are your general comments?

good overall, very nice people
