💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

A lot of ethics questions- how would you handle a situation where the resident and fellow were making a joke about a patient?
The first interviewer asked me a series of questions that were on a piece of paper and he kept filling out my answers which made it a little distracting. Questions like do you have anything bad on your record?
What field of medicine would you like to go into?

What was the most interesting question?

How does technology affect healthcare? (very vague question- wasn't sure how to answer it)

What was the most difficult question?

Pick a FIRE research project topic you would study if admitted, how you would go about finding the answer, and make sure it's scientific.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff was AMAZING! The tour was AMAZING! the facilities are AMAZING! The anatomy lab is top-notch. The dean of the school came in and gave a speech to us interviewees which was very inspirational. The med students who we had lunch with were really nice and helpful. Celebration Hospital is beautiful- doesn't feel like a hospital more like a Disney hotel. The school is very open with how they base admissions decisions and keeps you updated on your status frequently unlike other schools. Once this school becomes accredited, it will definitely become the top medical school in the state. It's just the attitude the school has which is full of passion and drive.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have two doctors interview me and one would be very tough and confrontational.
