What are your general comments?
Not terribly nerve-wracking. I had an outside interview w/an alumni (who knew nothing about me and told me his purpose was just to get to know me as a person and to find out if he could see me as a future colleague) before my interview day at MUSC. out of the 3 interviews: 1 conversational and the others more structured. 1 had lots of patient scenarios. everyone is very kind and calming
