How did you prepare for the interview?

UW bioethic web site, news articles on web, SDN feedback, think real hard why medicine.

What impressed you positively?

I got the impression that the interviewer weren't try to be mean. They wanted to know that you are aware of the current health care issues that doctors have to deal with and the ethical issues that will come up at some point in a MD career. They also want to know about you.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviews tend to run late, expect some wait time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Over 150 interviewers who give their time to interview candidates each year. With so many people, there're chances that you may get nice, not so nice, and out right weird ones.

What are your general comments?

Read a lot on current health care and ethical issues. Know why you pursue medicine. Your attitude and character will be remembered not so much that you have all the right answers. Prepare ahead, do your homework, and be ready to tell about your experiences. Believe in yourself!
