💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Mrs. Jones is your patient who has Hep C. You enroll in her in the clinical study you're in charge of, which is funded by a multi-million dollar pharmaceutical company. The study tests the only known medication that has worked in initial studies for Hep C. However, as you continue your study, initial results show that little improvement in Mrs. Jones' condition. The pharmaceutical company asks you to remove Mrs. Jones from this study and any subsequent studies having to do with this medication. Discuss.
What was the most interesting question?
Give instructions to your partner to draw what you see, but don't say the name of what the object is.
What was the most difficult question?
Discuss discrepancies in GPA/ECs (but when I entered the room, the interviewer elaborated that it was a question of why I should be accepted among other applicants????)
