This one is bound to come up almost every time. What would you say and why?
The question is in the poll.What's the question?
I am a long way from the interview process but... I would answer with my intended specialty and the reasons for interest in that particular area.
I would also add that I would be going into school with an open mind however and was excited to learn about all areas before making a definite decision.
To those of you that already have interview experience... Does that sound like a decent approach or would you stick with a more definitive answer?
Sounds perfect. Be honest but be open minded.
This is what I did and it worked fine. I think people appreciate that you want to go with an open mind because they know students change their mind all the time.I am a long way from the interview process but...

Where's the option for cash-only cosmetic dermatology?
I've heard lots of stories of aids and home health nurses being put in patients wills. Usually accepting these things (or other gifts exceeding a certain dollar amount) are considered unethical.Last weekend, I had a guy try to convince me that I needed to be "an old-time cash-only doctor" when he found out I was going to medical school. He then proceeded to tell me about this doctor he knew who took care of some rich old guy full time and eventually inherited his fortune, much to the anger of the old man's family.
So that was interesting.

Would it be bad to say that you didn't like certain things about some specialties?
Given that you may be interviewed by practitioners of those specialties, yes, it would be.Would it be bad to say that you didn't like certain things about some specialties?
