No change 😐

6 out of 10

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were very polite and nice. However, I felt like the majority of questions were geared toward problem-solving and health care policies. Personality, interests, activities, etc. weren't delved into as much as I thought they would be.

Read the UW bioethics website and a book on healthcare in the U.S.

What was the most difficult question?

What are the ethical implications of the Oregon Medicare system where they rank procedures to determine what is covered or not.

What impressed you positively?

The lunch with the med students and an assistant dean was very informative.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that there was some sort of mix-up and one of my interviewers came in after the interview had started and may not have read my file beforehand.
