💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What do you think is one of the biggest problems in health care today?
What was the most interesting question?
What do you think about shows like Extreme Makeover? Do you think that's right? (This question didn't come up out of the blue... we were talking about that kind of stuff and I was saying that, as a doctor, I would not perform surgeries for purely cosmetic reasons...)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked at this site, reviewed my resume and my personal statement. Also looked at websites about healthcare.
What was the most difficult question?
What would you have done about the Terri (whatever her last name is) case in FL? (She's the woman who was on a feeding tube for like 10 years).
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was sooo nice! It was obvious to me that the students were happy there. They were all enthusiastic and came up and talked to me just to be nice. It was a great atmosphere. Also, the work out center was amazing!! Oh, I also liked how the students are only in class until about 12:30 every day, as opposed to sitting through lectures until 5pm. There was a lot more emphasis on group learning than at some schools.
What impressed you negatively?
There was basically only one building where students could study. The building was really nice; it's just a lot different that medical schools that are on a huge campus.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing
