💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Very conversational interviewers. Their chief concern was that you understand what you're getting yourself into with military medicine. My first questions was actually What do you want to talk about?
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing really out of the ordinary, one of my interiewers was Public Health Service and he asked me if I knew the different places a PHS doc could serve
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read through sdn forums and did some mock interviews with my family which was actually really helpful since I said some things I knew right away I didn't want to and could ensure that I wouldn't say them on interview day.
What was the most difficult question?
Why should we pick you over everyone else interviewing? Always tough to answer without sounding intentionally modest or overconfident.
What impressed you positively?
The students were really helpful. The informal panel during lunch gave a lot of diverse veiwpoints on life at USUHS and everyone there seemd to genuinely enjoy it.
What impressed you negatively?
They had to scramble to get interviewers, which led to a bit of a confusing schedule and some people (fortunately not me) had really bad interviewers who I assume usually are not used. Part of what happens with deployment schedules though not enough doctors around for extra duties outside the clinic.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That we'd have a chance to fire questions at the student panel. Come prepared with anything and everything you'd want to ask you'll get multiple answers and really be able to figure out if this place is for you
