Interview Question

*initial desire began when I attended the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine * visiting hospitals triaging, presentations, live knee surgery * My desire was confirmed during my shadowing experience of an osteopathic physician, Dr. Enrique Orlandoni * viewed an EKG, interacted with staff and doctor, learned about patient centered medical homes

I am extremely interested in specializing in pediatrics due to my volunteer work in the pediatric department, as well as my shadowing experience of a pediatric cardiologist. From these two experiences * seen both the positive and negative sides of medicine i.e. communication with children is especially difficult

The most prominent issue facing the medical community today is the health insurance crisis involing the Affortable Care Act. While the Act indicates numerous complex issues, the lack of physicians by 2020 concerns me the most. I believe this issue is the most important because the nation is going to have to account for the loss of over 3,000 physicians, potentially causing a threat to the quality of patient care

In ten years from now i would like to be in a pediatric fellowship in new jersey. Upon completion of this fellowship, I would like to be work in an underserved community in new jersey in a hospital. I would like to take a year after my fellowship to travel to underserved countries to assist the medical personal there. Eventually, I would like to open my own practice, get married, and have a family.

From my shadowing experiences, I have realized the osteopathic medicine is a perfect fit for me. I believe that osteopathic physicians overall must possess a more compassionate and empathetic approach to medicine, treating the patient as a partner is the medical process. The whole body incorporation treatment as well as OMM training offer extra training which improves the medical experience. Especially in the transitional state health care is in, I believe that osteopathic medicine now more than ever will become more prominent in promoting preventative care. Through my shadowing experience, I observed subtle differences in the MD and DO professions, including interpersonal relations and overall atmosphere of the medical office

Two years ago I was accepted an affliation program through Monmouth University 4+4 with RowanSOM. In order to obtain this affliation, I was invited to interview at RowanSOM. While visiting this medical school, I was blown away by the atmosphere. All students and staff members I had met were extremely friendly, helpful, and overall happy. The most important goal of my life is to be happy and it was impressive that students in this stressful environment were genuinely happy to be at this school. I was also impressed with the facilities of the school as well as the interview process with Dr. Griesback. Community service mission of Rowan***

My strongest quality, without a doubt, is optimism. No matter what the situation, I constantly promote a positive side. I believe that life is too short to be unhappy and that everyday is a special gift that many for granted. In order to promote happiness, I became the spirit sunshine and music chair of my sorority. I inovated this position and incorporated a new style to lift others up during tough times.

One of my weaknesses is progressive preparation rather than preparing at the last minute. When I first came to Monmouth University, I had trouble managing time and preparing for classes ahead of time, however over the course of the last three years I have taken a journey of self development and have improved my study techniques to improve my long term memory of subject matter.
