"Let's say the US is switched to a Universal Health Care system like Oregon state, where everyone got basi health care, but certain procedures were not covered. For example, a 40 year old man, regardless of situation/health, will be refused a kidney transplant. Is this fair?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Have you been misjudged before in the past, and how did you deal with it?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"How can you establish good physician-patient dynamics when you work in free clinic settings where you may only get to see the patient once in their lifetime? What do you do to encourage sucessful dialouge in order to treat the patient? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What is the last book that you have read that you felt had significant meaning in your life? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"You are the director of a hospital, and the ER doctor comes in presenting a drug addict who's been in previously 5 times beore for detox/treatment etc. At the same time, a group from the local urban community comes to you asking for your hospital to sponsor a healthy babies program that will serve over 200 infants in the community. You have limited funds and can only help one of the two, who do you help? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Current events (Dr Samson REALLY likes the NY Times), Medical Ethics Course, prep q's with friends" Report Response
"The swift response of the school in granting an interview. From the time they confirmed my secondary application to my invitation to interview was within 24 hours. Side note: If you Do NOT get into the UW, you can set up an appointment with Dr, Samson (dean of admissions) for an exit interview, and ask him EXACTLY why you were not competitive this year." Report Response
"3 on 1 interviews at UW are semi-blinded, ie: 1 person has open file, and the other 2 have closed files on you. In etiher case, I did feel slightly bullied at some of the questions, and often you can feel quite outnumbered, which just increases stress. I also did not have a medical student on my panel this time, and the last 2 times I've interviewed with UW, I had them. " Report Response
"nothing. This is my u-grad school, and my home-state school. If I don't know something about the school by now..." Report Response
"Because this was my 3rd interview with the school, I felt as if they were pressured into making a "final decision" on me. I have been wait-listed both times before and they wanted to know what Dr. Samson said at my exit interviews, and what I had done to "correct" any inadequacies in my candidacy. Perhaps due to my situation, they felt less inclined to ask my personal q's (no fluff, who are you, what do you like to do, tell us about yourself q's). I had mostly all policy, current events, physician-patient relationship ethics q's." Report Response
