What are your general comments?

Arrived at 8:00am, started with the orientation and Powerpoint presentation. Interviewed by two UCHSC faculty members separately. The first interviewer was very enthusiastic and very interested in knowing my background and history on how I got to the United States, and she let me guide the direction of the interview - which was nice. The second interviewer was more succint and straight to the point, and his style was more to obtain your opinion on issues in healthcare. All-in-all I thought it was a pretty well-balanced interview experience were you can show both your personal attributes and your professional demeanor.
