COVID Interview Questions

[frosty42]

Has anyone had any interview questions related to COVID?

What types of questions should we expect in regards to the pandemic?

I'm thinking they might ask how we personally dealt with COVID and our experiences, but also questions like what we can do to end the pandemic, what it means to be a physician during a public health crisis, etc.

Any other insights into how COVID may be approached in interviews?

How would you deal with anti-vaxxers or COVID deniers?

Those ^, the former of which is mostly a recycled version of "How would you deal with childhood anti-vaxxers". Others I can imagine are:

"How have you changed and adapted your learning style during COVID?"
"What do you think COVID has shown about the healthcare system and suggest an improvement that may come from it?"
"Should the US be giving booster shots before the third world gets their first vaccines? Why or Why not?
"Should an intentionally unvaccinated patient be moved back in line for care if ICUs are overflowing?"

Many of them are old ethical dilemmas with COVID used to make them more topical.
