How did you prepare for the interview?

I read my own application (primary and secondary), read interview feedback, read up on health care reform and listened to NPR podcasts about health care. For every experience listed in my applications I thought about what I learned from each and what I liked or disliked about each. Regarding physicians I'd witnessed, I thought about things I'd want to emulate and things I'd want to avoid or try to do better.
