💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How many people (percentage wise) do not have healthcare in America? So do you think we are paying too much for healthcare, too less or just right? So do you think the distribution of doctors is just right, too much one way or too much the other way (concerning regional distribution)?
What are non-nmda receptors? What does nmda stand for? (questions specific to my research, make sure you know what you are doing research wise)
What would you do if you knew a med. student was on drugs? Also, would you let that student with this past history practice medicine on patients?

What was the most interesting question?

Give me 3 reasons why you think some doctors choose to work at medical schools?

What was the most difficult question?

So do you think you will be judgemental when caring for your patients? (I thought this question was very off base and he probably asked me it cause of my political affilations assuming I was racist or something....no, im not in the kkk.....hehe)

What impressed you positively?

Nice facilities, cheap housing.

What impressed you negatively?

Toledo doesnt look that great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewers were pretty much quizzing me with hypotheticals and ethical questions left and right even though the admissions directors at the start of the day made an effort to say they try to make the interviewers conversational and low pressure.

What are your general comments?

Like I said above, i was really surprised by the difficulty of the interviews. I think it was just bad luck that I got two "hard" interviewers. My first interviewer asked me a ton of healthcare questions which I think I answered really well and we ended up talking a whole hour about stuff like that. He ended up walking me to my next interview which was nice. The second interviewer was even tougher, he pretty much looked at my file and started giving me questions relating to my character and others about healthcare and specific questions about things in my file. Overall, I was really surprised about how hard the interviewers were.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
