💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

A patient dies in the ER. How do you deal with it and how do you break the news to the family?

What was the most interesting question?

The motto of MSUCOM is "Science of Medicine, Art of Caring, Power of Touch": what does this mean to you?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What was the most difficult question?

Do you handle criticism well? (I said no)

What impressed you positively?

The school is ranked #4 among all medical schools for primary care. This was the thing that impressed me most. Also, that the D.O. students are not backstabbing and ultra-competetive.

What impressed you negatively?

The other interviewees.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the cadavers are already dissected for 1st year students. The current students say this is a good thing because you see many different bodies, but I think the experience of cutting the body and seeing the layers of tissue is better.
