Blog 4: Interview Preparation



Who do you plan to interview? Why?

Dr. Francisco B. Fuscaldo, MD

He is a physician who specialises in Internal Medicine ergo, an internist. Since I've decided that Internal Medicine is my senior topic, interviewing an internist would greatly help me in my research. I interviewed him over the summer, but this time I'm ready to do a full–fledged interview.


You have to ask 5 questions. What additional questions do you plan to ask?

Set Questions
  1. I'm interested in studying Internal Medicine. What can you tell me about it? 
  2. From your perspective, what could I study that would be significant to other people? 
  3. Who else would you recommend I talk to? 
  4. What kinds of places or activities do you recommend I do for the mentorship component? 
  5. What books should I read in this field? Who else can I interview? 


Additional Questions
  1. Why did you choose Internal Medicine? 
  2. What is the most enjoyable part in being a doctor? 
  3. What is the least enjoyable part in being a doctor? 
  4. How are you able to specialise into another field such as cardiology when you've already specialised in Internal Medicine? 
  5. Internists work with adults: what is the age group you mainly see? 
  6. What kind of personality do you believe is best for a doctor? 
  7. Are you up to date with recent breakthroughs in medicine or particularly internal medicine? If so, what are good places to read up on these?
