What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Do you think doctors in the same field that make more money try as hard as the doctors that make a lesser amount knowing that whatever the result of the operation, they will not get reprimanded and be paid?

Report Response | I was asked this too

Tell me about yourself. How come your first semester grades are so bad? Who do you hate and why?

Report Response | I was asked this too

Why do you think doctors wear white coats and is it necessary? Why Davis over the other potential choices you have? There are a lot others since mine interviews for at least 90 minutes but I can't remember them all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Let us say that you were really tired one day and accidently prescribed the wrong drug to a patient. Lucikly the nurse found out before the medicine was given and corrected the misutake. The patient never knew about the mistake. Would you tell the patient what happened? Explain why you would take this course of action.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my AMCAS application, the Davis secondary and the SDN interview feedback. I talked to some people that went to Davis to get a feel for how the students liked the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The type of students that go there, the administration and the faculty....and most definitely the Sacramento Medical Center.

Practically nothing. The Davis part of the medical school was not overly impressive, but that was fine because the good stuff is at Sacramento anyway.
