It was a really fun and informative day. They brought in a Standardized Patient for us to "play" with. The Children's Hospital is the most child-friendly hospital I've seen yet. I was really nervous about the panel interview and the impending questions about ethics and healthcare, but it really wasn't bad at all. they were really very friendly.
