Nothing really. I mostly expected them, but somehow forgot to practice Q3. They did ask what type of medicine I was interested in, since I want to do global medicine.
What was the most difficult question?
Q3, I sat in silence for at least 45 seconds before coming up with an answer, which involved a Russian patient that I impacted at the local hospital.
