面试准备
The interview is a critical element of the admissions process for many health professional programs, providing the program and applicant with the ability to determine if they are a "good fit" for each other.

采访格式
You may meet with a single interviewer for 30-60 minutes, then with the next interviewer.
你可能会面对两到四个面试官. 该小组可以由招生委员会成员组成, 教师, 卫生专业人员, 校友, 和/或项目在校生.
这种格式通常由七到十个电台组成. 在每个站点，学生都有有限的时间(e.g. 两分钟)阅读提示，然后是有限的时间(如.g. 6到7分钟)回应. The prompts are commonly scenario-based and are generally not complex/not requiring medical knowledge.
有些学校会同时面试一小部分申请者. 在小组会议期间, interviewers may present the applicants with a hypothetical problem and require them to work together towards a solution.
Interviewers in an open-file interview have reviewed your file including grades, 入学考试成绩, 申请论文, 推荐信, 等.
在闭门采访中, the interviewer has either seen nothing in your file or just your personal statement (or an essay in your secondary application). The point of the closed-file interview is to remove any bias that might exist in your file and address how you come across to someone who does not know you. 无论哪种情况, be very sure you can discuss any and all comments you made in your initial and secondary 申请论文.
