The students and the Clinical Skills Centre.

What impressed you negatively?

Kingston - it's small and cold.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there are several satellite centres (not rural, one is in Oshawa which is bigger than Kingston) that students may (have to?) spend time at.

What are your general comments?

Very good. The panel was nice, seemed interested in what I was saying, didn't say anything to throw me off. They only have the OMSAS 48-item sketch, so many questions were based on that, or in response to some of my answers.
