What is the biggest challenge for physician today?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading articles, reading my own research stuff. Relaxation

What was the most difficult question?

Can't remember any particular difficult questions. I had one about how to record population of neurons using microelectrodes, and because I actually didn't know much about it, I sorta b.s.ed. That was NOT good thinking back.

The school was really great. I had a great first impression. The research facility was huge and new. Very nice students.

Some people complained about NC

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing in particular. I was very impressed by the school. It's one of my top choices. I didn't know about the school at all and considered it substandard for reserach. But I now know that I was wrong and it's really an awesome school
