Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western University Medicine Interview Questions
​



​Interview Format

After the candidates participate in problem-based learning (PBL) activities, each candidate will have a conversational interview with a medical student for about 30 minutes. Interviewees for the program receive two traditional interviews with Admission Committee and faculty members. Each spends 45 minutes to one hour separately. The faculty interviews are open-file and critical with a focus on the applicant’s research experience and motivation into medicine. The medical student interview has only access to the AMCAS essay and the experiences section of the AMCAS application with a focus on the candidate’s activities and noncognitive skills. The interviews aim at assessing the applicant’s:

  • Teamwork skills
  • Communication skills
  • Commitment to medicine
  • Research experience
  • Clinical or shadowing experience
    ​

​
Key Dates

Interviews generally take place between September and late January.
