How did you prepare for the interview?

I recommend the book ''Health Care Meltdown'' by Dr. Bob LeBow. It really helped me answer the health care questions I had during interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are great. The city is nice, and getting nicer. The students were all very helpful. The early clinical exposure is quite extensive.

What impressed you negatively?

Rent costs a lot.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking is free for students.. NICE

What are your general comments?

Stayed with a student host which was great. The day is well organized with presentations and lunch. I thought the interview was going to be crazy stressful with 3 interviewers. However, they were all very nice and interested in what I had to say. I think it all depends on who you get. If I got 3 hard asses, im not sure how I would've handled it. Like everyone says, with ethics questions, just stick to your guns and show that you have put some thought into the issues.
