Blog 6: Second Interview Questions

Who is your mentor and where do they work?

Dr. Francisco B. Fuscaldo, MD

North Broadway Medical Clinic
2926 N Broadway Los Angeles, CA 90031

or

Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz JR., MD

Amable R. Aguiluz MD 
21500 Pioneer Blvd Suite 209, Hawaiian Gardens, CA 90716


Dr. Fuscaldo is my mentor and the one that I plan to interview for Interview 2 as he is an internist.
On the other hand, Dr. Aguiluz is another doctor (Family Doctor w/ experience in Emergency Medicine) that I have as a back up. Dr. Fuscaldo is on vacation right now, so in the case I cannot do an interview with him, I'll do it with Dr. Aguiluz (I may try to visit the clinic if I have the time). Even though Dr. Aguiluz is not an internist, I believe it is important to have experience in a non-internal medicine clinic to note the differences in work ethics and procedures.

Although, Dr. Fuscaldo should be back in time before October.

5. Why did you decide to open a clinic instead of staying with a hospital?
6. How long have you been practising medicine?
7. Can you explain your experience with residency?
8. Why do you think that being a doctor is a worthwhile career?
