💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why is medicine interesting for you?
What was the most interesting question?
Since I am older, the interviewer had my resume. She noticed that I had changed jobs every three years. She wanted to know why I thought medicine would hold my attention more than the other positions.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Practised with med student friends. Reviewed my AMCAS app. Slept well. Checked their website, reviewed their grant awards and current research projects.
What was the most difficult question?
The "Jehovah's Witness" question... If a child was dying and needed a blood transfusion and the parents refused, what would you do? Typical.
What impressed you positively?
The warmth and accessibility of the staff. All speakers and students were truly friendly and the antithesis of intimidation. The amount of growth and construction on the campus.
What impressed you negatively?
Parking charges, directions.
