What are your general comments?

Unlike my U of C interview, there were two docs and a med student that interviewed me. They were very friendly and straightforward, maintained eye contact, asked specified and relevant questions, and responded with nods and comments like 'ok' and 'good'. They definitely emphasized the ethical questions, but covered quite a bit of material for 40 minutes. The time went by at warp speed.
