💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Do you have any opinions on the current state of healthcare? What do you dislike about UK?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, numerous sleepless nights, a lifetime of hoping, and a review of my application.
What was the most difficult question?
What is your worst quality? When have you failed in your life? Why are you a better applicant that the other people who were in that room? What do you want me to know about you?
What impressed you positively?
Friendly people, who are very helpful and seem to be after the best future physicians. Everyone is excited about the improvements in facility, faculty, and finance. It really seems to set in with everyone that this is a very special time to be at UK.
What impressed you negatively?
Strong emphasis on numbers to attain their "Top 20 Goal". Perhaps not the best way to get the best overall physicians. On the other hand, pushing for this new goal has energized the program and its effects are seen in every aspect of the medical community.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Contrary to SDN, the actual interviews were not merely conversational. Don't kid yourself. These are serious people with serious questions, and at a time it is a bit awkward. Not a negative experience by any means, but no party either.
