Two questions from our US bank that match LECOM Seton Hill (DO)’s panel format. Try answering them out loud, then open Prometheus for the model answers and follow-up tips.
Tell us about a research experience where your role was modest, perhaps a summer running routine lab work such as gels and data entry without any authorship. What did you actually do, and what did you genuinely learn from it?
Likely follow-up · If you did not fully understand the scientific purpose of the experiments you ran, how do you talk about them honestly?
You spent three years as a weekly volunteer at a free clinic serving uninsured and underinsured patients in an urban neighborhood. Over time you noticed that the same patients returned repeatedly for the same chronic conditions — hypertension, diabetes, asthma — that never seemed to improve.
What did you observe about the structural barriers these patients faced, and how did that experience influence your vision of what a physician's role should be?
Likely follow-up · How do social determinants of health — housing, food security, employment — interact with chronic disease management in underserved populations?
