💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Have you ever had any clinical experience?
What do you think your best quality is; and what is your worst quality, and what would you do to fix it?
Who in your life has been a great influence upon your character?

What was the most interesting question?

Medical school and the life of a physician can be very lonely. Nobody in your life understands what you are going to go through - not your wife, not your kids, nobody. Have you ever gone through anything in your life that you think will prepare you for that kind of stress?

What was the most difficult question?

I want you to describe yourself - everything - in one word. (come on... one word?!)

SDN, TMDSAS application, bioethics course

What impressed you positively?

What didn't? The school was excellent. They are looking for students who are genuinely commited to a career in serving others, not themselves. I was impressed with their teaching curriculum, and impressed with their educational facilities. The Harlingen RAHC facility - sort of near where I live - seems like an excellent environment to really get your feet wet with medicine.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that I was going to be asked a biochemistry question, haha. Really threw me for a loop.
