Almost a month since I last posted. I have definitely been busy between school and medical school interviews. So far the topic of my experience with the medical examiner has come up almost immediately in every single interview. One interviewer started by saying "Oh, you're the morgue guy. I never met anyone who has worked in a morgue and I have been interviewing people for over 20 years." I also think that it is worth mentioning that there are even doctors who are not entirely sure what goes on in the morgue. For example, one interviewer was not aware that when bodies are sent to the ME from the hospital, all tubes and such are left in place. Also as an aside, if there are any people who are responsible for conducting interviews for anything, here is a suggestion: try to make it as conversational as possible. I much prefer being interviewed in a conversational setting (closer to real life) than a random question and answer session. That's just my two cents, so take it or leave it.
I have a few more interviews scheduled and I am waiting to hear back from some more schools. Keep your fingers crossed because this application process is quite intimidating. Also, I am planning on contacting the medical examiner near my school and asking if I can volunteer one day a week or so. Also #2, I received a whole bunch of emails from readers and I have been trying to respond. If I did not respond, I apologize, just resend it to remind me. Also #3, I had some links to post, but I have them on another computer so I will post them shortly. I actually forget what they were.
