💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Should medicine be considered a business?

What was the most interesting question?

Imagine, as a doctor, you are at a cafe, and you see two of your patients across the room. If you could overhear their conversation, and your name came up, what would they be saying about you? What if the they were physicians who worked with you?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Familiarized myself with American health care, kept abreast to current events, and made sure I could answer any questions pertaining to submitted application materials.

What was the most difficult question?

If you had to examine 5 patients in one hour, but one of them had a problem that you could not quickly get to the bottom of, would you write a quick prescription to keep on schedule, or would you keep working on the patient?

What impressed you positively?

All students appeared very happy and friendly (faculty, too); there will be an entirely new medical sciences facility next year.

What impressed you negatively?

Traditional curriculum (lots of lecture hours)--but they are working to change this.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing--I did my undergrad work here in Madison, too.
