"Do you think that you hold stereotypes and prejudices? (This was in response to me discussing how I was a minority in my community growing up, and how I wasn't necessarily the victim of blatant racism, but I felt that I people held prejudices against me and stereotyped me because they were ignorant.)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"A patient of yours has signed papers stating she does not want extraordinary measures to be taken to save her life if she were to fall extremely ill. You see that she has fallen into a coma in the ER...what do you do? (of course you respect her wishes) Now her family members have come and are screaming at you because you're not doing everything in your power to save her...what do you say to them?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read over application, read up on ethics and healthcare policy (which I didn't talk about at all), SDN, answered basic questions" Report Response
"KU is revamping their curriculum for next year, making it much more integrative and systems based. They're requiring the use of a Tablet computer, which is a super-portable laptop that you can "write on" with a "pen"...pretty neat. They're introducing new electives like, Medical Spanish, Domestic Violence, and Cultural Competency...all of which are great." Report Response
"The facilities aren't that great...the study areas seem really small and depressing." Report Response
"That the curriculum is going to be revamped next year. I like the changes a lot and wish I could've mentioned them in my interview." Report Response
"The first interview was a one-on-one open file conducted by a faculty member. The second interview was immediately after that and was a two-on-one closed file. One was a clinical preceptor at KU Med and one was a private physician who drove all the way out from Garden City just to do interviews for KU. The two on one was a little strange for me because they just kinda shot questions at me. After I finished answering one question, the other person was immediately ready to ask another one. Tip: if you have a choice...make the interviewers sit close to one another so you don't have to keep on turning your head to make eye contact with both." Report Response
