Anonymous Question from a Pre-Dent
"Hey, everyone. I am a pre-dental student preparing for the upcoming interview cycle. I am wondering how to prepare for interview questions. Specifically, ethics questions. Does anyone have any examples of ethics questions you were asked? Do you have any tips on how to prepare for these questions? Thank you so much for your help!"
Could anyone share more examples of ethics interview questions? These seem like the hardest ones to answer. Thanks
Hi! My name is Brandon Valerio and I'm a D1 at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Last cycle, all my interviews were completely virtual. In order to prepare, I actually visited my undergraduate institution's career center and participated in a mock interview with my career advisor. If you have something like this available to you, I highly suggest taking advantage of this as I was able to get valuable feedback on common interview questions. For ethical questions, my best piece of advice is to say what comes from your gut and what aligns with your true values and beliefs. A question that I got asked was "If you knew of cheating in a class, what would you do?" To answer these kinds of questions, it is always best to explain what you would personally do and why this aligns with what you believe in. If you google dental school interview questions, there's great resources available on this!
