LECOM MEDICAL INTERVIEW
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Why DO? - Correct Answers -Although the allopathic approach to diagnosing a patient
is widely common, I would rather be interested in learning to heal the body as a whole
and help a person achieve a high level of wellness. I wish to be unique in taking a
holistic approach to medicine which osteopathy allows. Additionally, I want to learn
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine.
Why LECOM? - Correct Answers -LECOM is well-known as the nation's largest
osteopathic medicine school. Furthermore, I was raised in the tristate area and I am
used to the culture that it brings upon, and I believe will be able to adjust to the
environment easily. At LECOM, I hope to learn the principles of Osteopathic
Manipulative Medicine, and use their valuable resources such as their OMM Lab to
cement my fundamental skills.
What is your greatest accomplishment? - Correct Answers -My greatest
accomplishment is qualifying for Rutgers Marching Band Competition.
Tell us about yourself? - Correct Answers -
Who is your greatest influence? - Correct Answers -My greatest influence is my
grandfather. His father died at a very young age and my grandfather was left to take
care of his family and educate himself. He took care of his mother and sisters and
quickly earned a good reputation for himself. I take him as an influence as I know that
with hard work and motivation, you can achieve success even when life throws
challenges.
What makes you better than other candidates? - Correct Answers -What keeps me
unique from other candidates, is my perseverance and my work ethic. Growing up, I
was diagnosed with a speech disorder, and at first, I had no belief in myself for being
able to communicate effectively again.
Do people who don't take care of themselves deserve healthcare? - Correct Answers -I
strongly believe that people that don't take care of themselves deserve healthcare. As
medical professionals, there is a responsibility that needs to be upheld to protect people
of the community as much as you can, even if the patient isn't willing. However, as
doctors you cannot force them, as ultimately it depends on the patient. However, we
can stop at nothing to advise them and give them helpful tips.
