How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a good experience. Very low stress interview, which was very conversational. My interviewer was a clinician and not directly involved with medical education, so couldn't answer some of my questions regarding specifics about the curriculum. Other than that I enjoyed it.
