What questions do you anticipate?I'm asking this on behalf of students who are interviewing this week in the aftermath of this election. I think it's fair to assume that we may potentially face questions from interviewers about the future of medicine with a Trump presidency and the Republican-dominated House and Senate. If asked such a question, what do you suppose would be the best way to respond?
Idk, speak factually about it. Trump won, will of the electorate. ACA may be on the chopping block if pre election promises are to be kept. You feel bad for people with prexisiting conditions or those who may reach lifetime limits. That's about it. I mean what else is there to discuss. Don't act like you have a chip on your shoulder.Well realistically, I'm not anticipating any questions directly related to the outcome of the election. I feel like it would be unprofessional to discuss politics in an interview setting, and I would never be the first to bring it up. But just in case it gets brought up by the interviewer as casual small talk or as a stress interview question (ex. how do you feel about Trump? how will the ACA be affected by the new government), I would like to be prepared.
Arguments are still the same as they were the day before the election.In some respects they have as 20 million people are now on it and a congress is ready to repeal it with no alternative in sight.
I had an interview on the morning of election day...
I asked the my interviewer, "are you excited for election day?"
Answer: "Not really, More worried about how the candidates will improve America."
Me: "No matter who's elected, there will be people that unhappy, because well life."
Answer: "True that."
Me: "So Hilary then?"
Answer: An extended glare...
I still don't know who he/she was voting for.
I swear, people treat this **** like religion.

That was an incredibly dumb move and I hope you didn't actually do that.
This so much x10If you can have a thoughtful conversation with someone with potentially a different belief structure than you in a calm manner able to see the other side of the issue and talk intelligently then it shouldn't be a problem. If you are steadfast in one particular viewpoint (no matter which side of the aisle you may be one) and can't talk about an issue without burning up with anger and just unable to see the other side of an issue then no, don't talk about it.
This. It's a pretty neutral and accurate observation to make."I was very surprised. Most of what I had read led me to expect a different outcome."
