Congrats to the 3 accepted today! When did you interview?

10/20

10/20 as well

Anyone else just get the email about their file being under review?

Yeah I think they sent it to everyone

Bet, just had to make sure

Any other IS folks not heard anything post secondary or am I just doomed specifically

I have not heard anything either!

The only thing I received was the school closure email for Christmas. I prefer an II but thanks for wishing me a happy holiday I guess...

OOS A! I’m gonna be a doctor :)

Those who've interviewed - is this accurate at all? It's from a website I've never heard of.

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine Interview: Format and Experience

UTHSC conducts traditional one-on-one open-file interviews. Faculty interviewers review your entire application beforehand, which means conversations are deeply personalized and grounded in your essays, activities, and letters.

Format and assessment highlights:

45–60 minute conversations with 2–3 faculty/physicians who have studied your application materials.

Highly individualized prompts tied to your experiences. For example: “Your AMCAS entry mentions volunteering at Rural Health Services of TN. How would you apply those lessons to improve prenatal care in Fayette County, where 37% of OB clinics closed last year?”

Evaluation themes to expect:

Rural Health Innovation: Interviewers often probe your grasp of TN’s 13 rural hospital closures since 2010. Be ready to discuss practical solutions for counties like Haywood (1 PCP per 3,800 people).

Health Equity: Prepare to analyze Memphis-specific disparities—e.g., Black mothers’ 3x higher maternal mortality rate—using your public health coursework, research, or volunteer experiences.

Interprofessional Gaps: Expect questions about leveraging UTHSC’s “One Health” model to coordinate care (e.g., diabetes management in Shelby County’s food deserts).

I had 2 interviews around 30 min each and they did not ask any questions like that. They knew my application well and just asked clarifying questions + your usual med school interview questions. Very low stress interview, good luck!

they done with interviews I presume?
