Yes, it was panel style and they asked why perio, why this program, what has prepared you for this thus far, why should we pick you, tell me about your research, what are your interests? Very generic questions, but a lot of them within the 30 minute timeframe. It was conversational with some faculty and more Q&A style with others. Overall, not as stressful as I thought it would be.

Perfect, thank you so much. I appreciate.
Good luck. 🙂

wow, i'm so jealous. i had an interview yesterday (in canada) and they didn't ask any ''traditional'' questions. i got tons of research questions (technical questions) and even question about medical knowledge (pharmacology/disease/complications/etc). it was terrible because i definitely wasn't ready for this. first interview i totally bombed in my life.

Sorry to hear that. Would you share some more specific questions, just in case if anyone got in the same situation, to have an idea?
Thank you.

My Friend received details one week before his interview.

 

[Periodontist S]

Can you share your interview experience, please?
Thank you.

Yes for sure.
The interview took half an hour and it was like a normal conversation and the committee members were very nice. It was not stressful as I thought.
The following questions that they asked me:
1- Talk about yourself: in this question they really wanted brief facts about yourself, starting from mentioning your name, your country and the GPA that you got when you have graduated from bachelor degree if it is high and finally to the current position.They did not interrupted me and they have listened to me to the end.
2- Talk about your research briefly
3- talk about your strength and weakness points
4- Why did you apply to this university ?
5- what is your motivation to complete your postgraduate studies?
6- Why have you chosen this course or specialty ?
7- Did you apply for another program ?
8- Do you have any question for us ?
9- Are you planning to work in a private clinic ?

 

[deleted721052]

Sorry to hear that. Would you share some more specific questions, just in case if anyone got in the same situation, to have an idea?
Thank you.

Yes!

There was 7 i think people interviewing in the same zoom interview.
- A couple questions on the past/future of perio (what's the best thing that happened, what challenges are coming, etc)
- A communication problem example and how i solved it
- 1 personal question about my resume
- multiple questions on a research proposal i had to write in 15min based on an hypothetical scenario (asking about what I wrote, how i would do X and Y, questions about exclusion criterias, data collecting method, blinded vs non blinded study, hypothesis/null hypothesis definition...)
- multiple questions on aspirin and hypertension (always asking more and more detail everytime)
- a few questions about a past publication
- lots of question about future research interest and how i would do it and what result i expect
- a few more i totally forgot

Overall i feel like half of my questions were decent but i was still expecting way more ''traditional'' questions; it was also the questions i had practiced the most. oh well, i guess how nervous i was feeling didn't help at all.
