"Say you were a physician in Oregon (where medically assisted suicide is legal) and you had a women who was recently diagnosed with ALS (incurable, debilitating disease), and she wanted you to prescribe medications so she could end her life when the disease became too bad. How would that conversation go with her?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What are 3 qualities that you believe make a good physician?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why do you want to be an osteopathic physician specifically?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"(This piggy backed off of the question about 3 qualities of a good physician) What is one quality you would like improve during medical school that you think would make you a better physician?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Basically just did basic research on the school and reviewed the answers from my secondary application." Report Response
"While we were waiting for our interview time, we were in a fishbowl type room in the library and random med students would pop in throughout the morning and answer any questions we had about the school. They weren't connected with the admissions committee at all so they were able to give us very honest answers." Report Response
"During the interview I had very little body language feedback about my answers. I even cracked a few jokes and was barely even able to get a smile out of any of them, except the medical student. I understand this can be typical of any interview, but it was my first experience with it at a DO school. All of my other DO interviews (4 before this one) were all very conversational and two-sided as opposed to this which was more rapid fire questions." Report Response
"I wish I had known about the more traditional panel-like interview style so I could have prepared better mentally, but I also should have been more proactive and done that anyways." Report Response
"I don't appreciate it when people ask a question, I give them part of an answer, and then they immediately either interrupt me or ask a follow up question about what I had just said. I don't feel as though they really got a full picture of who I was as a person, outside of my medical experience. But overall, the interview wasn't terrible, just somewhat impersonal, in my opinion."

"I might suggest going into more detail about the schools curriculum and what makes it unique compared to other schools, because I was given a general idea by the admissions office members who spoke to us, but had to ask my interviewers for further detail." Report Response
