What was the most interesting question?

I had two faculty interviewers. The first was stuck on ethical issues and statistics, such as how many uninsured persons currently reside in the US. The second was intimately familiar with my research, which wouldn't be bad, but for almost an hour he regailed me with his opinions on what I should be doing.

What was the most difficult question?

How many uninsured people live in America today? How many of them are seniors? What could we do about this?

What impressed you positively?

The interview day was pretty much bump free. Although long, it isn't just haphazardly thrown together. The board stats seem impressive. The clinics were neat.

What impressed you negatively?

Gainesville is not what I would call a &quot;booming metropolis.&quot; All of emergencies on the ER board seemed to involve CO poisoning, farm equipment, or auto injuries. oh, and when people say the interview is 50 minutes, that is just one of the two interviews.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The parking lots aren't as easily navigated as I thought they would be. Morning traffic is also a little heavy.
