"Why do you want to be a doctor and why this state? Follow up questions. Have you had rural medical experience in this state (I said I was interested in rural health care because of time I spent in Argentina). What specialty are you interested in?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What are your hobbies? What books have you read recently that you would recommend? What was a challenge (not personal) that faced one of the doctors you shadowed? Why do you think some patients do not follow through with their prognosis? (I talked about desire and follow-up). What do you like and do not like about the health care reform." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"If you received money for a clinic, how would you decide where the money would go? (I said I would take a Utilitarian approach) Role Play: Interviewer: I am a 14 year-old obese girl with no other health issues and want a note to get our of PE. Me: Why not PE? Have you talked to your PE teacher and your parents? Asked to bring in parents (played by other 2 interviewers). Finally, said that I would not write a note because she doesn't have a condition impeding her ability to participate in PE. But, I asked for a compromise: Exercise plan including her dancing (she said she liked dancing) that I will sign, and they can take to the school, and it would be up to the school if they would excuse her from PE, as long as she is staying up with the plan I made for her." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Role play: 14 year old obese girl with no other health issues wants a note to get out of PE. (It wasn't a "what would you do", rather a "let's act this out, right now.")" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I said that a single-payer health care system would save lives and would be less expensive. The interviewer than asked me to explain how it would save money, and if I really believed that? (I think he was testing if I could keep my stance)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read this. Watched the UW interview podcast and read on the UW bioethics website. Read "The Healing of America". Read about health care in my state. Practiced (this was my 6th interview). PRAYED LIKE CRAZY!!!!" Report Response
"The thoroughness of their review of my application." Report Response
"NONE- I GOT ACCEPTED!!!" Report Response
"That other interviewers start time for the day is different. If their interview was later in the day, they were on a different schedule of orientation and tour as well. I didn't get why people were showing up a different parts of the day." Report Response
"They knew my application very well and listened very carefully to what I said (and asked lost of follow up questions according to what I said in the interview and in my application). In result, they learned more about me than any other school, I think. But you have to stay on your toes. I got accepted!!!" Report Response
