What was the most interesting question?

There is a strong emphasis on collegiality and caring for medical students well. All the students seem very chill and get along with each other well. I heard a lot about how student feedback is taken seriously.

The patient presentation is REALLY important. Both interviewers asked me to talk about my impressions of it, if I remembered the patient's name, etc. I think it's how they evaluate how patient/person-centered you are.
