What are your general comments?

I interviewed and was waitlisted and later accepted here 2 years ago, and felt that my interview experience was similar to other interview experiences that I'd had that year (SLU, OHSU, Nevada, etc.). I did not find the panel to be malignant at all, but they did follow a single lineage of questions until a subject was exhausted. This was difficult because every answer brought forth another question. STICK TO YOUR GUNS IN THIS INTERVIEW. There are not necessarily any correct answers, but it is most beneficial to consult the UW Medicine ethics site prior to the interview (http://eduserv.hscer.washington.edu/bioethics/). I printed this out and read it a few times the week before the interview. It provides an introduction to several relevant ethical issues in medicine, and addresses each side of the argument. It matters not what position you take with your interview panel. Just be consistent and back up your answer with evidence. The "bad cop" will inevitably argue the other side, but you will be prepared for this, having consulted the aforementioned web-site which is and has been open to the public. After two years of UW medical education, I am very thankful that I was chosen to study medicine here. I do not have any misconceptions, however, that I am any more qualified than most other candidates that interviewed. Good luck in this process.
