💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why medicine? osteopathic medicine? Midwestern?
What was the most interesting question?
If we were to meet your best friend, what would s/he say is your greatest strength? your biggest weakness?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read the feedback posted on SDN and looked over AZCOM's website
What impressed you positively?
Nice facilities, very friendly faculty and students, relatively cheap cost of living. The students spoke very highly of the school and of their experience there.
What impressed you negatively?
Steep tuition and lack of structured clinical rotations for the 3rd and 4th years. They stress the benefits of having an ambulatory-style training as opposed to ward-based training, but that just means that I'll have to put in the time to schedule my own rotations.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I spent an hour just sitting and waiting for my turn to interview.
