CUSOM interviewers value genuine alignment with the school's dual identity: a faith-informed liberal arts institution and a rural medicine training program. Applicants should be able to discuss North Carolina rural health challenges specifically — the state has significant health disparities in its rural and coastal counties — and connect their values framework to the CUSOM mission. DO shadowing in a North Carolina context, if possible, adds meaningful specificity to the application.

HardMMI · PanelQ1

Measles Coverage and Vaccine-Hesitant Parents

A state health department releases data showing that vaccination rates for childhood measles in a rural county have fallen to 68% — well below the 95% threshold needed for herd immunity. Local news attributes the decline to parental hesitancy fueled by social media misinformation. The health department asks for a community communication strategy.

As a future physician, how do you think about the quantitative framing of this problem, and what does the evidence tell us about effective communication with vaccine-hesitant parents?

Likely follow-up · How do you explain the concept of herd immunity — and why 95% matters — to a parent without a science background?

Owning a Past Academic Integrity Lapse

Imagine that early in college you received a failing grade in organic chemistry after submitting a lab report containing data from an experiment you did not fully complete, and at the time you rationalized it as a minor exaggeration.

Looking back now, how do you characterize that decision, and what does it tell you about the professional identity you are building?

Likely follow-up · How do you distinguish between a youthful mistake that reflects poor judgment and a character flaw that disqualifies someone from medicine?
