Hi, I am going for interviews at Azpod and Nycpm.
Does anyone have any advice as to the kinds of questions they may ask and how I should better prepare myself? Thank you in advance 🙂

I tell everyone this. Biggest and most important question for you to prepare for is "Why podiatry?"

Second one you may want to consider preparing for is "Why Arizona?" or "Why New York?"

Those 2 questions + 1 about my academics, + 1 about my hobbies = my interview at OCPM.

Don't focus so much on specific questions; a rehearsed answer often sounds rehearsed and insincere.

Ask yourself questions a family member might ask; why podiatry? why that school?

Basically, understand why you want to take part in the programs in general, and what aspects of that school draw you to it.

If you have any glaring issues on your application, have an answer for them.
-Example; I did poorly for a semester and a half in undergrad, why did I do badly? What will prevent a recurrence?

Be comfortable in your own shoes, and with your decision to go to school there. If you want to go, are motivated to get a DPM degree, and are willing to spend the 200+ thousands to get the education, you should already have answered the questions they'll ask you yourself, and only need to maybe run through them in your head to organize the information.

Don't lie. Better to have a bad truth than be caught in a lie.

Don't pander. If they ask you an opinion question, answer honestly (unless your honest opinion is something like, "I hate feet and anyone that has them")

You'll do fine. Good luck.

Hi again,

I was just looking at AzPod info, and I came across the Vision for the school. The two that caught my eyes were innovate curriculum and compassionate patient care. Does anyone know what those two terms refer to specifically? It seems like too broad a statement so I'm not quite sure how to expand on them. I like the concept of it though. Thank you!
