💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

My interviewer, juding by the patients in his office, a successful clinician, was extremely professional yet engaging and interesting. More of a conversation than an "interview"

How did you prepare for the interview?

Knew of the schools reputation, first hand, for producing excellent clinicians from physicians and residents that I worked with.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing that I felt unprepared to discuss. Primarily tried to determine if I knew how exacting medicine was ... and basic questions about my experiences.

What impressed you positively?

Faculty interviewer, Dr. Studdiford, he was amazing. The student coordinators,who basically run the interview day, are pretty amazing...yet not impressed with themselves.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing..School has a longstanding reputation ..is in the best part of the city, students seemed happy, administration seems student oriented.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The Vice Dean of the medical school, Dr. Callahan, welcome's all applicants.and..the Director of Admissions for the medical school, Grace Hershman, is available during the day at the post interview wrap-up. You can just go up and talk to her. Amazing!!Did not experience this at any other interview I attended to date (10)
