What are your general comments?
met at 830 am, had introduction/opening words. Then had a lot of down time (a little over 2 hours!). Then had a tour of the General Education Building by two second year students. Then had lunch with 2nd and 4th year students, which was really laid back and where we were able to ask any questions in a stess-free environment. Then had a tour of the hospitals with two 4th year students. Then I had two 60-minute interviews with PhD professors. A LOT of walking is involved.. so wear comfy shoes
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Website, Studentdoctor.net, read over AMCAS
What was the most difficult question?
The questions weren't too difficult; however one of my interviewers did grill me a lot about my research
What impressed you positively?
All the students were super enthusiastic. Especially the fourth years, who are having a lot of luck in the search for residency programs. There is an incredible amount of clinical exposure as well.
What impressed you negatively?
The lack of organization of the interview day. I ended up having ~2hrs of downtime. I got to sit in on a class, but there was not much else to do during this time.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The UTMemphis trauma center is the 2nd busiest trauma center in the country. Wow!
