Writing station in the MMI?

[babydoctor]

If I remember correctly, the U of M MMI includes a writing station, does it not? Does anyone have any information about this station, like what kinds of things we might be asked to write about, or how long our answer is expected to be?

Oooo good question!! I want to know too!

Yes, there was a writing station last year. I can't recall the question that I got, but I would imagine that any type of 'medical interview' question would be fair game. If I were to guess, I would say that the question would more towards describing yourself, your past experiences, your volunteer/extracurricular work etc. than ethical questions. Though, be prepared for any type of question. In terms of length, I don't recall there being a min or max, and I think you might be able to answer in point form as well (med1's correct me if you remember more distinctly). I remember not doing so well (or least I thought) on that station, mainly because I was writing pretty fast and didn't think my answer was very well developed. Any further inquiries you should probably ask at the orientation session tonight, assuming you attend.

I'm not coming in tonight for the orientation (highways are closed), so someone else will have to fill me in!!
