What was the most difficult question?

No difficult questions. It's closed file, which is like improvisational music- you start talking and they'll fill in your blanks. If you're comfortable with yourself and your life experience, you'll have no problem.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing out of my daily routine. Was myself. Listen to NPR, read newspapers, stay interested and think about subjects pertinent to medicine, since it's my responsibility as a future physician to know about these things, in my opinion.
