⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
6 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Nice, a bit stressful, but that's to be expected. I have a background in philosophy and have extensive medical experience, so perhaps the mind-bending ethical questions where reserved for those who they wanted to shake a little. Other people walked out with the standard 'three people to dinner' and 'appliance' questions, and I get abortions, suicides, and multi-casualty incidents with people triaged to priority 0 and still talking. Oy.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Would you change anything in your educational past?
What was the most interesting question?
You are the doc in charge of 15 bus crash victims. 5 have to go to immediate surgery, another 5 are triaged as 'will die soon.' What do you tell the 5 who will die?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read the posts of other SDN people! Thanks!
What was the most difficult question?
A 13 y/o F comes in to get an abortion, where there is no legal restriction, or parental notification or permission required. Do you perform the abortion. Second part: it doesn't matter wether you perform the abortion or not, as she commits suicide and leave a note telling her father that you either performed an abortion or refused to, in either case causing her to commit suicide. He comes to see you with the letter. What do you tell him?
What impressed you positively?
Nice facility. Nice people. Decent on-campus housing/prices - coming from a guy living in New England.
What impressed you negatively?
The cost. The heat - coming from a guy living in New England.
