All along your career you are expected to appear for several important interviews. However, if you have a prior knowledge of what questions to expect while appearing for an interview, your work is half done. This is especially helpful for the students.
Here are a few sample questions to be expected while appearing for a Medical School Interview.
- Tell us about yourself.
- Why do you want to be a doctor?
- What will you do if you are not accepted to medical school?
- What do you think will be your greatest challenge in completing medical school or learning how to be a doctor?
- Where else are you applying?
- In your opinion, what is the most pressing problem facing medicine today?
- What are strengths and weakness?
- Why would you be a good doctor?
- How would you describe the relationship between science and medicine?
- Discuss your clinical experiences.
- What exposure have you had to the medical profession?
- What do you think are the most important qualities in being a doctor?
- Expect questions concerning what you think about ethics and healthcare(e.g. abortion, cloning, euthanasia)
- Which family member has influenced your life so far and why?
- Are you a leader or a follower? Why?
One thing which every student especially needs to keep in mind while appearing for a medical school interview is, to ask back questions to the interviewer about the specific field.
