Application Tips with Apply Point: News to Keep Track Of

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
We know that you're busy with secondary applications, but it's easier to stay abreast of general healthcare news than to have to play catch-up later. We recommend you make it a habit to review the news for healthcare-related topics. You will not be asked medical questions during your interview. But you could be asked about the medical field. Your interviewers want to know that you're keeping up with the times and that you've deeply pondered some of the big topics that come with this work.

You may be asked:

• What have you been following in healthcare news lately that is of particular interest to you?
• What healthcare-related or academic publications do you read?
• Do you have an opinion on the current [X medical news] controversy?
• What would you say is a major problem in the healthcare system today?
• What do you think is the greatest medical development in history?
• What's the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
• What can be done about rising healthcare costs?

While we're talking about interviews, check out our webinars (we have one devoted to preparing for medical school interviews) or contact us for a consultation.
