What are your general comments?
Interview is laid back! At the Morehead site they do a GREAT job at calming you down and the Lexington interviews are pretty chill. Be prepared and stay calm because they at the interview point they want to accept you, but they just need you to be personable and answer questions calmly with a clear head.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
I was applying through the Rural Program so at Morehead they asked more about rural medicine like "why the RPLP program" and at Lexington it was more general like "talk about a time in conflict" or "what was your research like".
What was the most interesting question?
"If you were an element, which would you be and why?"... I stupidly said Hydrogen lol!
How did you prepare for the interview?
This wesbite for ethics (it's GOLDEN): https://depts.washington.edu/bioethx/topics/
I talked to a mirror and wrote an outline for the "Why medicine" and "Tell me about yourself" questions.
What was the most difficult question?
"A patient comes into the ER after a car accident and needs an amputation, how will you break that news to his parents". I first asked how old he was and if he was driving the car and she said he is 17 and was alone driving the car. So then I went through the breaking bad news "protocol" that I practiced.
What impressed you positively?
The poeple, the new hospital, they really care about you!
What impressed you negatively?
First class in medical shcool with anatomy. Since I'm RPLP I'll have to move from Lexington to Morehead after 2 years.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I already went to the RPLP open house so I think that REALLY helped me for the RPLP interview. *whisper* they so some speed interviews at Morehead in additon to the 2 one-on-one interviews *whisper*
