What are your general comments?

It was a relaxed interview. My interviewer just really wanted to know the basics - motivation, strengths, weaknesses, view on managed care. One advice I have is to be yourself. Go in there knowing what your credentials are and your strengths and concentrate on those without sounding arrogant. Be outgoing. My interviewer seemed to like that. Be friendly.
