They did't really ask me too many specific questions. I just sat down, he said to tell me about myself...then he started spinning questions from off of that.

What was the most interesting question?

this is from my family. i have a family disease that runs in my family. i wanted my blood drawn to be tested for the gene that increases susceptibility to the disease, but isn't proven to cause the disease. he asked me if i, as a physician, would approve the test for my patients...we went over the ramifications of that. it was really chill...everything was perfect except for the fact that i really needed to take a crap and the interview ran over into an hour and a half.

What was the most difficult question?

my interviewer told me about a homeless woman with two children who went on to graduate from UCSF med and opened her own clinic to help underpriviled patients. Then he asked me how far I would go to live out my dream of working for minority communities.

What impressed you positively?

davis is a nice quiet, clean town. Hospitals are amazing...tertiary center fro like 36 counties, so you see a lot of crap. The students are really chill and happy. Cost of living is reasonable. Nice weather. Can't complain.

What are your general comments?

really nice place. i think i could be happy at davis. they are all about personal attention. there was only three of us interviewing on my interview day...compared to the 20-30 i've had at other schools, you know they put a lot of time and energy into really poring over the secondaries so they don't waste your time going into the interview.
