💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

A patient can't afford a $300 med you gave a prescription for but can get it for $50 in Canada. Do you write her a prescription for the Canadian meds if you really care?
Is medicine a right or a privilege?
What do you do if you pass a doctor who has alcohol on his breath?

What was the most interesting question?

If we want doctors to continue to learn because that is a competency, how do you make sure doctors actually continue their education?

What was the most difficult question?

You pass an elderly man in a hospital. He falls down, isn't breathing, so you bring him back only to find out this man had a DNR. He is only alive on a ventilator so what do you do now?

What are your general comments?

The day was confusing with over 100 students interviewing and it felt like you received little attention. The interviewer was more interested in seeing how I dealt with his constant barrage of ethical questions. Every answer I had for a question was quickly followed by a, "Well... what if..." comment in which the question was changed so I needed to respond again. For example, the number of times I caught the doctor drinking was increases and multiple possible excuses from the drunk doctor were posed to try to trip me up.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
