Without the search function I haven't been able to find out if anyone has posted the list of 12 standard questions (from which 4 are picked) for the standard part of Iowa's interview?

If anyone has it, would you please post it here? Thanks!

I dont have the whole list but the two most popular that I found from the interview section and that I was asked were:

Why medicine?(big suprise)
If you had a friend that had a drinking problem what would you do?

I couldn't find it either, but here are the questions:

1. What acheivement in the last 4 years are you most proud of?
2. Why medicine?
3. Tell us about a time you went above and beyond the call of duty and wht you learned from that.
4. What would you do if one of your colleagues had a drinking problem?
5. What is the one quality you would look for in a physician for one of your family members or yourself?
6. When was a time you showed true caring and compassion?
7. Tell about a time you asked for help. How did you ask?
8. How has being a patient affected your impression of medicine?
9. How do you handle stress?
10. Tell us about a time in your life that was influential.
11. If not medicine?
12. Aspect of being a physician you least look forward to.

Good luck. Tell em gdbaby LOVED it there!

How to handle [enter name here] with drinking problem? (pretty much an ethical dilemna)
