A patient has diabetes and is not compliant with her medication. What do you say to this patient? How do you get her to become compliant?
What was the most interesting question?
More of the personal questions about your application - the interview is very conversational, but they are also required to ask you certain questions.

looked at SDN, talked to my student host, read about all of the great programs the school offers, and had an idea of what my FIRE research project might be.
What was the most difficult question?
You are a medical student working with a resident who reports to the attending that a patient needs an appendectomy based on his physical exam findings. You know that the resident did not complete the physical exam, and really do not believe the patient has appendicitis. What do you say or do?

Everything - the staff, the facilities, the students. They do a very good job of selling their school.
