✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the materials, pay close attention to PBL and principles of osteopathic medicine

What impressed you positively?

The PBL curriculum obviously prepares you very well for the boards

What impressed you negatively?

The rotations are not guaranteed, even my interviewers couldnt give me a straight answer about whether you were expected to find your own or not, or if it was possible to stay in the area for all of them. The students also seemed less than enthusiastic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That though the board scores are nice, that the clinical experience they provide is questionable at best

What are your general comments?

The academic focus of the program is awesome, and PBL seems like an innovative and effective method of learning material, but clinical experience and rotations seem to be on the back burner, and thats a huge turn off

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
