What are your general comments?

Pretty low-stress interview. They really just wanted to talk about my experiences and how I'd arrived at a point where I knew I wanted to apply. They didn't ask anything difficult or surprising. Be aware of health care issues, and be prepared to defend them. The interviewers didn't seem to care whether you had solutions for health care problems, but did want to see that you were knowledgeable about both sides of the issues and willing to stand your ground in the discussion.
