3 out of 10

What are your general comments?
Fairly laid back, my interviewers gave me the heads up when they were going to throw me ethics questions or "why be a doctor" questions. Tour was nice, lunch is ALL YOU CAN EAT which is great, and the students you meet are a great resource. Dominique, the girl in the admissions office is a cutie, too.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Woman getting a Cesarian and her platelets are low. Of course, her religion calls for no infusion of blood products. She says no blood products. She passes out. She is in a bad way. Her husband says "give her blood." What do you do?
What was the most interesting question?
Will you do an Elvis impersonation? (Had to do with ECs)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Look throught the viewbook, UUSM website, other interview feedback site, practice interviewing with freinds.
What was the most difficult question?
Ethics question about being a student and a resident screwed up a dosage but it was a small error...the attending says it was only a small goof, no need to tell the patient...do you tell?
What impressed you positively?
Students had quite a bit of freedom, Huntsman Cancer Center=big MONEY for cancer research. Beautiful area.
What impressed you negatively?
I sat in on a class that the professor didn't seem too excited to be teaching. That was kind of disheartening, but it was only one guy n only one class.
