💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

One of my interviews consisted of ALL ethical dilemmas. They were pressing me hard (I think it was on purpose)
Tell me about a difficult time with a patient. // Tell me about a difficult time academically and personally and how you came back from it. // Tell me about when you worked with diverse communities and what you learned from it.
Why SSOM? Why be a physician? // What do you do for fun? // What experience specifically prepared you well for medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Describe an ethical dilemma you see in medicine.

The ethical dilemma conversations // Why medicine? (when I gave my answer my interviewer told me it was cliche and I had to come up with another reason)
