Sure! I just interviewed yesterday. I can give you my quick rundown, and then let me know if you have specific questions.
I had an interview in the morning, so I arrived around 7:15am, and then had a welcome session (15 minutes or so). Then I had my first interview with a faculty physician at 8am, and it was 55 minutes. It was really pleasant! Both of my interviewers did a great job of making me feel very comfortable, so I felt way more relaxed than I anticipated. My second interview was at 10am, so I had an hour to hang out before my interview. I was able to walk around the campus and pretty much do whatever. My second interview was with a current medical student and was also 55 minutes long. Both interviewers covered the basics: Why medicine, what clinical experiences do I have/why were they significant, what do I know about New Mexico's health issues and what will I do to fix them, why do I want to practice medicine in New Mexico, why do I want to be a physician rather than a different type of healthcare provider, etc. (If you want me to share the more specific questions I was asked, PM me. They might not be helpful to everyone, but I can still share them!). A lot of the other questions were woven into conversation and applied directly to me. I did get an ethics question concerning concussions and football, but it was super low-key compared to other ethics questions I've read about online. I genuinely think the interviewers wanted to get to know me and my passion for medicine, and it did not feel at all like they were out there to attack me or make me feel nervous. The interviewers both said they are my advocates (and will be yours as well), so they want to be able to go back to the admissions committee and share positive feedback about me (and you)! Just be comfortable and share your passions and life experiences with them.
After the interviews, I had another hour break and just chatted with other interviewees and med students. Then we had lunch and time to chat with 4 current med students. After that, we went on a tour with those med students and we were encouraged to ask whatever questions we want. Those students told us that they are not part of the adcom, so anything we ask or share with them is not being used for or against us in our admissions decision.
After that, we had an information session concerning the current med school curriculum, and we were given plenty of time to ask questions. Then we were informed about what will happen next concerning admissions. They told us that 30% of students are accepted through rolling admissions, and the other 70% receive acceptance by/around March 2019. For our interview group, they said we should anticipate hearing back about rolling acceptance/rejection by November 1st, and if we don't hear anything by then, that means they are still considering us for the March group.
That's pretty much my quick rundown. As I mentioned earlier, feel free to ask specific questions, and I'll do my best to help out. Best of luck to all future interviewees!! This is a wonderful program, and it's a really neat experience to interview there!
