Your medical school interview is the last hurdle between you and that all important offer. It’s essential you make a great impression in this relatively short period of time and persuade the interviewers that you would be a great fit for medicine at their university.
The practice of medicine is often described as both a science and an art, where knowledge from fields of biology is applied in an approach based on ethics and human values. A cornerstone of this approach is empathy, which is the ability to understand the feelings of another, imagining what it might be like to experience what that person is feeling. Simply put, being empathetic is to see the world in someone else’s eyes or to put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

Some medical schools want to see how you communicate in difficult situations. One such situation is giving bad news, a perfect test of empathy, listening and communication skills, as well as how to handle uncertainty and discomfort. However, if you ask most physicians, they find communicating bad news extremely stressful, so the question is: how should you approach this situation?
With exams and interviews piling up, applicants often overlook the importance of recent medical news. What if you were given this question “Tell me about where you think the future of Medicine is going.”, a rather popular question among interviewers? Let’s see how one could potentially show the interviewers that.
In my experience, this is an all-too-common Interview question. Whether it’s to trip you up, or see if you’ve ever done any introspection, or just to see how honest you are, the question is an easy one to falter on.
