A few days ago I found a long list of about 100 possible interview questions. I've searched SDN and can't find it. Any idea where it might be hiding?
 
Anyone care to share comments either through a post or a PM on what questions would NOT be acceptable to ask student/doctor interviewers?

I'm genuinely interested in how future doctors think Medical Marijuana should play a role in healthcare. Thus would it be wrong to ask a student interviewer a Q like this:

"I always read about the medical marijuana debate and I'm curious to know how the current generation of future doctors feel on this subject?"

Would something of that sort be advised against?

Anything else we shouldn't ask for sure?

Sure, go ahead and ask. :laugh:

Interesting---generally I like to hear comments from others on issues as a way to compare them to my own.

No, you shouldn't pose such a question. In my experience, it's best to err on the conservative side when asking questions of your interviewer. If you truly want to know how soon-to-be doctors feel about medical marijuana, ask a few students on your own time outside of the interview program.

Is there a high recycle rate of interview questions by the same school every year?

EDIT: Sorry for reviving a dead thread, didn't realize the date - got linked to it from the 2015-2016 FAQ threads.
