What was the most interesting question?

If you were practicing medicine in another country and diagnosed a patient with tuberculosis and that patient refused to take antibiotics and instead wanted to take herbal medicine, what would you do? What if there were children around that were at risk of contracting tuberculosis and they attended school? How would you address the risk to the children and the community? Would you try to force them to accept treatment using the community or by passing a law mandating treatment?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on current healthcare issues on Google news and thought seriously about my stances, also read the UW bioethics page and some books on managed care, stem cells, and the history of medicine.

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Hunt's lunchtime talk about the school was inspiring and informative.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The day isn't so tightly organized. It wasn't a big deal to me, but it's something they could work on. For example, they didn't have students lined up in advance to come talk to us at lunch even though it was on the schedule. Instead, they dragged a few people in as they could find them. Also, they have the talks scheduled when some people have interviews so those interviewees miss out.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't know anything about their new College's program. It's a mentorship thing that they are trying out and seems like a major benefit to students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, the day was less stressful than I expected. The admissions staff and Dr. Hunt were very forthcoming about the whole process and the interview felt more like a conversation than an interrogation. I preferred this interview to others where I spent the whole time talking about myself and my strengths and weaknesses. Now I'm crossing my fingers that I get accepted.
