💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What is your GPA and MCAT? (Not sure why I was asked though, was told they already had these)
What was the last book you read? Then, speaking of books, what would say is your absolute favorite movie of all time?
Where in healthcare do you see yourself in 10 years? Where do you see healthcare going in that time as well?

What was the most interesting question?

Which would feel more comfortable with- taking a class with a very detailed, explanatory syllabus with detailed goals for the end, or a class with broader, less-defined goals, where you trust the professors to get you where you need to get, even though the road might not be a straight one?

What was the most difficult question?

Do you see yourself becoming a clinician or hospitalist? (This was the only one that required more than a little thought, everything else was extremely laid-back and relaxed).
