How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on ethics, adventist.org, sdn.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very personable. My second interviewer asked tougher questions, but was not out to attack me or my beliefs.

What impressed you negatively?

I was given the wrong room number to my second interview, so I ended up being a few minutes late, which added to my stress level.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known who my interviewers were prior to the interview date.

What are your general comments?

After the first interview, which was with an anesthesiologist, I felt pretty confident. We talked about my social activities in college and church, the future of health care, and moral dilemmas I faced. My second interview was more difficult. It lasted the whole hour and we got into a discussion about stem cell research and how we may be able ethically to grow lines from the extra zygotes that are produced for in vitro fertilization and are destined for disposal.
