What to Expect in the AZCPM Podiatry Interview
Connect your podiatry story to patient education, honest reflection, and learning beside other health professions.
AZCPM's published process and its applicant-reported question bank point to a conversation that tests how deliberately you chose podiatric medicine. Your answer should connect exposure to the field with what you understand about a DPM's clinical role, rather than relying on a general interest in science and helping people.
Know why training around several health professions fits the way you want to learn and collaborate. AZCPM explicitly considers communication ability. Prepare examples where you translated health guidance into a realistic next step for someone else.
The 15 questions in Intervly's AZCPM bank provide useful practice themes, but they do not guarantee the questions you will receive. Use them to practise thinking clearly, answering with evidence, and handling follow-ups rather than memorising scripts.

Interviewer
How would you convince a patient to listen to your advice on changing their lifestyle?
Applicant
I would listen to their concerns first, explain things in plain language without jargon, and check that they understood before moving on.
Intervly follow-up
Let us make it concrete. Say the first two sentences you would actually use with that person, and tell me how you would respond if they still said no.
How to Prepare for the AZCPM Podiatry Interview
- 01
Build a AZCPM-only fit answer
Use the official sources below to identify two details that distinguish AZCPM. Connect each one to a real experience or goal so the same answer could not be given to another podiatry school.
- 02
Make your DPM choice specific
Describe what you observed in podiatric care, what responsibility the physician held, and why that combination fits you better than adjacent health careers.
- 03
Rehearse the AZCPM question mix
Practise the three public questions and rotate through all 15 inside Intervly. Answer aloud, then challenge each response with a follow-up asking for evidence.
- 04
Plan for the Glendale setting
Research the school's patients, clinical environment, and community in Glendale. Use that context carefully and avoid making claims about people you have not met.
- 05
Review every academic decision
Know the courses, scores, gaps, and changes in your application. A concise explanation should end with stronger evidence of how you work now.
What to Know Before Your AZCPM Podiatry Interview
Use these as starting points. The answer to "why this school" has to be yours, so we deliberately do not write it for you.
Interprofessional campus
Know why training around several health professions fits the way you want to learn and collaborate.
Communication matters
AZCPM explicitly considers communication ability. Prepare examples where you translated health guidance into a realistic next step for someone else.
An honest profession choice
The bank asks what you liked and did not like when first exposed to podiatry. A balanced answer can sound more credible than an idealized one.
