hi nisha, can ushare ur credentials please, did they offer prematch

  #4

St. Barnabas openly offers prematch to everyone.

Be good and smile a lot and you will have your prematch

Be prepared for basic trigo stuff: remember, sin 45 = cos 45 = 1/ sq. root of 2

remember that tan 90 is not defiend and tan 0 is 0

and be prepared for some dumb questions on cardiac failure and med ethics.

goodluck, and I believe I have practically given the interview out!!!:-)

Has St. Barnabas offered prematches this year? A lot of people who went for the interview haven't heard from the program yet...any inputs will be appreciated.

Cool interview, don't worry about the test ( I practically left it blank, it was so silly ) and the PD will tell u to email him if ur really interested.

Nisha,

What kinda test do they give you? How is the hospital/program/surroundings in general?

Thanks

The test was a simple 3 page "survey" (as they call it) about certain ethical/clinical/personality scenerios...umm like how you would react if someone cut u off on a highway..what your qualities are etc etc..and just for laughs they threw in some trig questions (sin 45..cos 45..and calculating the height of something I forgot what). The hospital seemed busy, the program seems like its a good way to trap cheap labor (tons of scut work, over worked residents)..and surroundings....? Well dude it's the Bronx....ok let me tell u this, after my iview this sweet candidate stood with me until i got my car out from the vallet parking because it was so unsafe.
