The students and faculty were soooo nice!! They can *really* sell their school!! The first year students seemed so well qualified... it seemed like everyone there was *at least* on their third degree - very interesting chatting with everyone.

Nothing! (there is construction going on, but it wasn't disruptive)

How I should just relax and calm down (I was very nervous)

What are your general comments?

This was very relaxed and conversational in nature. Very few "standard questions" - Lots from my sketch and essay. Here is a list of topics/questions that came up: -how would I feel if my patient was HIV + and didnt tell me -recent dialysis error at foothills and mistakes I've made in my work and how I dealt with them -euthanasia/end of life decisions -good and bad aspects of their program (what I know) -describe my research in layman's terms -my strengths and weaknesses -where see myself in 10 years -if I was health minister, what problems would I tackle
