💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I see that you have had extensive research experience, where do you plan to take this in your medical career and how will you balance everything?
This is always the first multi part question at any DO school: Why doctor, Why DO and Why AZCOM?
Who is your mentor and what is one thing that they said that shaped your life?

What was the most interesting question?

What are you going to do when you are a physician and people are unable to pay for your services, or when insurance companies try to pay you less than you ask for your services? They wanted a solution out of me, and all I could say was I would not refuse a patient due to their insurance, its just not who I am. I also said that I know that will happen going into this profession, and it doesnt bother me because it comes with the territory.

What was the most difficult question?

What is a selfish part of medicine that draws you to it? What was I supposed to say to this... Haha. I ended up saying that as a physician I would be making decisions for people, and I enjoy doing things like that. Then the interviewer asked me if I was controlling! Wow. Not what I was trying to say. Think I smoothed it out in the end though.
