What are your general comments?
This was a great interview experience. You get one student interview and one with a doc/faculty member. It was very laid back. When asked the toughest question, I was honest and said I didn't know what the reimbursement system currently was. It was fine; he explained it to me, and I then answered. We then spoke about New York (where I am from) and food and stuff. Very friendly. The doc was very nice and let me talk when he asked me a question (you will see some do not). Overall, great...low stress.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a doctor?

How I would feel about coming from a bigger city to a slower pace. I think this is a good question, showing they really want people who will be happy there.

I read the website and mailings.
What was the most difficult question?
How do I feel about capitation-type reimbursement/physician incentive plans.

The center. It's beautiful. Also the friendliness. This was my last interview, and there was a sense of friendliness and comaraderie not seen elsewhere among students.
What impressed you negatively?
The location and lack of fitness facility.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Maybe the "get-to-know-you" session prior to the interview. Some people freaked.
