"In the U.S. medical practice is often not as exciting as it is in developing areas, often the patients here have chronic conditions as a result of poor lifestyle choices. Do you think you will effective as a doctor even despite forces like the media (he referred to the barrage of McDonald’s commercials)?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"This is more like the question I didn't expect (but in a good way): You are a physician on call, and it it’s your anniversary. Your spouse has cooked dinner and there are roses on the table. As you enter the door, your pager goes off with an emergency. You have to go back to the hospital to see a patient. You come home 2 hours later and the roses are in the garbage can, and your spouse is upset. Why?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Read Understanding Health Policy, all of Atul Gawande's books, Groopman's book, New York Times and NEJM for the last few months. Mock interviews (mean ones, the meaner the better) with 1 physician, 1 med student, recorded it, reflected on it." Report Response
"The interviewers were very warm, and just wanted to get to know me. I had expected more pressure, opportunities to answer more ethical questions or attempt some role playing, but I found that my stress level stayed relatively low." Report Response
"It might have been nice to do some role playing, answer some more medical ethics questions or be challenged about why I thought the way I did about the healthcare system, but I'm happy about the way interview went." Report Response
"That it would not be as stressful as everyone makes the UW interview out to be." Report Response
"I appreciated how organized the UW admissions office was during the interview process. They provided a thumb drive full of information and videos about the school, we had a thorough Powerpoint presentation about the curriculum and opportunities at UW Med, and five medical students came to talk to us at lunch. The interviewers were very positive and made me feel at ease." Report Response
