What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What was the most recent book you read for pleasure?
What was the most interesting question?
What experiences and lessons from your career as a high school teacher do you think will be most influential in your practice of medicine?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read various articles about potential interview questions. I also asked one of my recommenders to perform a mock interview with me. This was definitely a huge help because he cultivated a very realistic interview environment, and he gave me feedback on my responses.
What was the most difficult question?
If you are committed to primary care, why doesn't your shadowing experience reflect exposure to primary care clinical settings?
What impressed you positively?
Both of my interviewers were very collegial in their approach to the interview and made me feel as though we were having a conversation rather than an interrogation.
What impressed you negatively?
The only negative experience I had was with the cafeteria at lunch time! I was given a voucher for a specific amount and the cashier gave me a hard time for purchasing something that was LESS than the amount of my voucher.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I'd known to prepare for a good bit of walking because I would've worn more comfortable shoes!
