Reviewd the AZCOM website, reviewed my secondary and resume submitted (this is only what they will have access to)
What was the most difficult question?
How have you prepared yourself to handle to monotonous days spent as a physician? (Random...)
What impressed you positively?
The board pass rates (wow!), on-campus housing, open-door policy, weekly exams (will better prepare you for the boards I'm sure), PBL mixed with clinical studies cirrculum
What impressed you negatively?
Lecture halls remind me of my cramped undergrad lecture halls (i.e. small wooden piece that folds over chair), itty bitty teeny tiny library, high tuition for the cramped lecture halls and tiny library, your 4 person group shares a cadaver with another group and you alternate days you work with it, the campus isn't completely wireless
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
AZCOM is going to increase the class size by roughly 100 people next year (yikes!). Also, that you get driven around in a golf cart during the tour (so don't worry too much about your feet hurting)
