Class Gift The Class of1995 would like to present a gift to the future graduating classes of PCPM. It is a valuable tool which can be used in any stressful situation during your residency interviews. We have compiled a list of 20 different ways of stating, I don't know, during an interview. It is very important not to keep saying, 1 don 7 know. If you do, it displays that you have a very narrow sense of imagination. Therefore, use this list frequently! 1) I DON'T RECALL. 2) Umm... Can you repeat the question? 3) I'M AFRAID THAT I'M DRAWING A BLANK ON THAT ONE. 4) OH NO, BRAIN FLATULENCE! 5) God, I KNEW THAT ONE YESTERDAY! 6) What do you mean by that? 7) Can you rephrase the question please? 8) Well, I don't know the answer to that question. However, I'm a hard worker and a people person! 9) Can I go to the bathroom? 1 O) You KNOW, THAT IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION. However, I don't have an answer for you AT THIS TIME. 1 1) AW MAN, I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE ANSWER IS TO THAT QUESTION IN THE PRESBY BOOK!! 12) Can you ask me something about antibiotics INSTEAD? 13) I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROCEDURE. 14) I THOUGHT THIS INTERVIEW WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY 1 5 MINUTES!! 1 5) WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME ABOUT THE ANATOMY OF THE HAND? I ONLY REMEMBER STUFF ABOUT THE FOOT!! 16) Umm... Aah....Umm...Aah... 17) WHAT KIND OF ? @ QUESTION IS THAT, YOU @!! . 18) THAT STUFF ISN'T IN THE PRESBY BOOK!! 19) I DON'T KNOW, NOR DO I CARE. I WAS OFFERED A PROGRAM LAST NIGHT. SEE YA!! 20) YOUR LAST RESORT: I DON'T KNOW.
