💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How do you feel about the current state of healthcare in the US? What do you think is wrong with healthcare today. The first interviewer was just asking generally but the second interviewer was more intense and kept on asking questions off my answers and started lecturing me on socialist and capitalist views.

What was the most difficult question?

The healthcare one. Ethical scenario1: you are a 3rd year student and while driving, you witness a motor vehicle accident, what do you do? Ethical scenario 2: you have a patient that has appendicitis and needs immediate surgery. The patient has an overriding fear of hospitals and doesn't want to undergo the surgery. How do you deal with this difference in opinions?

Prayed, read UT website, read interview feedbacks on SDN, reviewed my primary and secondary applications.

What impressed you positively?

The interview day was mostly low key. It is 2 faculty interviews with individual interviewers.

What impressed you negatively?

My 2nd interviewer (who hadn't even reviewed my file like he was supposed to to ahead of time) was running in out of my interview to go to the OR and my interview that was supposed to last 20-45 minutes lasted almost 2 hours!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That lunch was gonna be rushed so that we can go on the tour.
