Just wondering if anyone had any words of wisdom on interviewing at CCOM. I'm a little behind in the application process, so this will actually be my first interview. Any advice is good advice, and will be much appreciated 🙂
 
Hi Lynngweeny! Good luck on your interview. The interview is a panel format:
(2 faculty/administrators and 1 student). Know why you want to be a D.O. and be prepared to discuss experiences and personal characteristics which lead you to believe osteopathic medicine and CCOM are for you. Be honest, enthusiastic, and smile and I promise you will do fine. Check out <a href="http://www.interviewfeedback.com" target="_blank">www.interviewfeedback.com</a> to browse past interview experiences at CCOM. I was asked the common question about the fourteen year old daughter of a colleague who comes to you for birth-control pills. Think about that question but don't rehearse it. Good luck again! 😉
