What impressed you positively?

The friendliness and honesty of the interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The way they push the hospital as a "business, specifically a public corporation" (verbatim quote). One faculty member (with a student at the school) saying they are not getting their $40,000 worth but they are trying to change that. Low board pass rates requiring them to change their curriculum. Anatomy class I sat in on was the same stuff I got in undergrad. Saw one student on a preceptorship, while I was waiting for my interview, get an attitude from the receptionist when asked by the student where she could get scrubs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It starts at 7:45 but you will only be busy, including interviews, for 3 hours total. The rest is all down time with no real chance to learn about the school, so bring a book.

Had really high hopes about the school and really wanted to stay in Oregon but after the interview I will be pursuing education elsewhere.
