What are your general comments?

Eat before because breakfast is not great. Interviews are the last part of the day so try to keep your energy up. I had one interview last 30 min. And the other 1 hour. Many interviewees had 2 30 min ones, it just depends I guess. Some interviewers grill you on healthcare issues and some ethics so be prepared for them just in case you wind up with one of those.
