You had some trouble with the law I see. In your AMCAS you mention losing peoples respect because of that. Tell me more about that.

What was the most interesting question?

Ethical role-play. You are in a private practice with several other doctors, including me (your best friend). When you come into work one morning, your nurse tells you she smells alcohol on my breath.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Role-play. I am the governor, and my wife wants to spend millions on an anti-meth campaign. What do you think about that? I encouraged him to spend it on alcohol programs instead, because it effects more people, and got several follow-up questions on what I would do specifically.
