"You are an ER physician and a mother brings in her 6-year-old, who needs blood transfusions immediately. The mother is a Jehovah's Witness and states that she cannot allow the transfusions as they are against her religion. What would you do?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Read SDN, reviewed my AMCAS and secondary, researched health care reform, talked to some friends who had already interviewed there, brought copies of my publications. " Report Response
"The students were univerally friendly and encouraging and seem to have a very closely knit community. They were planning a haunted Halloween night for disadvantaged youth, and seemed very committed to serving the area. The Children's Hospital was beautiful. The Jones IVF center is among the best in the nation, and the standardized patient program was impressive." Report Response
"The facilities were run-down, and research is poorly funded. The academic caliber of the students was not as high as at other schools. My student tourguide made homophobic comments that I felt were inappropriate. Although this is definitely a matter of personal preference, I felt that the school had a very conservative atmosphere, which I didn't like. " Report Response
"The interview committee generally consists of 3 people: an ADCOM member, a student, and a clinician. The ADCOM member has seen your entire file, but the other two have only seen part of it. The ADCOM person will not identify him/her-self as such, so you have to guess. EVMS is all about the primary care, and has very unimpressive research opportunities. There are--count em--2 lecture halls total in the school. " Report Response
"The interview was highly predictable, and the interviewers were affable and friendly. They did press me a little on some of my "bioethics question" answers. It's really important to pick a clear stance and then don't back down! Once they saw that I was sticking to my guns, they said "good answer!" and moved on. The students at EVMS are so friendly and helpful. Be sure to talk to as many as possible." Report Response
