"if you were tasked to find out why there were high levels of alcoholism in a rural town, how would you go about doing so?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"are primary care and preventative care the same thing? (I think I brought this on myself, though, because I said that one of the problems with health care is that there isn't enough focus on preventative care)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"UW bioethics website, read the newspaper daily, read king5.com for info on health care specific to the seattle area (where I'm from), read "The Healing of America" by T.R. Reid (great for current health policy overview), reflected on my activities and why they were important to me, SDN forums and interview feedback, discussed questions with friends and family" Report Response
"About the interview, I was worried the interview panel wouldn't emote, which I had heard, but they were all very warm and appreciative of my answers. I got the acceptance call that week too, which was amazingly quick. As for the school, there was very little that DIDN'T impress me positively. Great school, so many opportunities, so many happy, nice people, and in such a wonderful place. One thing I didn't know going in was that you can do your clerkships during the 3rd and 4th years anywhere in the WWAMI region and the school will pay for everything for you! (apartment, airfare, rental car if needed). So exciting for me, because I'm very interested in rural medicine - Alaska and Montana here I come!" Report Response
"First year room has no windows. And that's about the only bad thing I can think of." Report Response
"Just a little more about all the opportunities the school offers, because they made me want to go there all the more, and I feel like I could have emphasized that in my interview (my interview was in the morning)" Report Response
"UW is an amazing school with so many incredible opportunities. Be yourself in your interview and keep in mind that you've done a lot of hard work to get there, so be proud and relax. Also, if you get a difficult question during the interview, take a moment to think before you start talking, so you don't end up going down a bad path." Report Response
