Amongst the group, talk about a solution if your hospital was low on money and couldnt afford to give free medical care anymore. Amongst the group, talk about how to handle a peer found cheating on a test. What would you all change about your undergraduate careers.
One-on-one interview, about 10 minutes: read this scenario outloud, then talk to me about it (drug that was approved for weight lose but had not been screened for long term affects). Would you give this to your patient? (no, you are concernd about their longevity, also osteopathic medicine believes in minimal intervention so you would have pt change diet and exercise first).
