What was the most interesting question?

I don't remember exactly how he presented the situation, but it was something like this...You are a cardiac surgeon and someone comes to you that needs a valve transplant. You know that there is a good chance the person will need a blood during the operation but refuses to except it due to their religion. Do you operate? If you do decide to and they in fact end up needing a transfusion or they will die, do you give it to them?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The school is taking action to become a top ranked program. They just renovated basically all the classrooms (except the lecture halls). They are constantly building new facilities, both academic and hospital related. The faculty, staff, and student body appeared to be very happy.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really...just if I hadn't seen the hospital before, I wouldn't have seen it that day. Unless you interview at the hospital, they don't tour there and vice versa.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a relaxed day and well organized. They made sure you left there with answers to any questions you might have had. In terms of the interview, despite the fact I was asked numerous medically and ethical related questions, it was not in any way "nerve racking". Just pick your side, explain your position, and STICK WITH IT...don't change your mind no matter what.
