💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why medicine and why osteopathic medicine
What was the most interesting question?
If a preceptor gave a student an evaluation of "unprofessional" due to their attire while everyone else gave excellent reviews, do you think it's okay to penalize the student?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I Bulleted out what I was going to say, reviewed what others had posted on SDN, practiced.
What was the most difficult question?
Think about a difficult problem you face, what solution did you come to and how was the solution innovative?
What impressed you positively?
Some of the questions were fun to answer.
What impressed you negatively?
Disappointed that I couldn't speak with faculty or student--hated the time restriction and the lack of human interaction. Felt like the interview did now let people know who I am. Also major technical difficulties and took a lot longer than the 20 minutes they said it would (due to technical difficulties and really long upload time between video responses).
