UNC Interview Feedback: NC Medicaid policy

[TK2006]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

I looked through the Interview Feedback section on SDN for UNC for interview prep.

They have some questions like, "Do you know about the healthcare policy in NC? Do you know anything about the Medicaid program in NC? If so, what's your opinion on this matter?"

What policy are they talking about? Is it different from other state's policies?

Just looking for some ideas on where to look. Currently, googling is not helping me too much.

Thanks,
TK

Also be aware that NC lacks dentist in rural/ under-served areas. Some counties don't even have dentists. They may ask you why this is... So brainstorm..

This is actually from ECU SODM's website, but it has a helpful article that talks about the state of dentistry in NC and even provides stats on how often medicaid is accepted by dentists throughout NC.

With questions like this is it best to come across compassionate / caring or practical.... such as expose a more libertarian mindset? I know it's best to be honest but at the same time you dont want to shoot yourself in the foot by coming across cruel or uncaring.

I would say compassionate is the way to go; however, admit that practicality limits many of the options that compassion would have you propose. I would stay realistic but try to be compassionate and understanding.👍
