What are your general comments?

My interviewer asked me probing questions - particularly about the state of health care in America. I believe he really wanted to know just how I felt about the situation. He threw me a lot of questions where I felt as if I had to prove myself. For example, I was talking about how I appreciate cultural diversity (I think it was in reference to where I see myself practicing in the future) so he quickly said something like, "well you must be fluent in spanish then....". I was like, er no, but I hope to be and plan to continue learning the language. That's how the whole tone of the interview was....like I was being challenged, but after a while I got used to it and didn't feel as threatened. At the end he asked me what field I'd like to go into and I said surgery- he then stated 3 times that stony brook is known for primary care and that they maintain that focus by screening applicants very heavily. I was NOT expecting him to say that at all.
