What are your general comments?

"My first interviewers was very personable and friendly. Quite conversational. My second was rather provocative and a little argumentative at times. I felt that the contrast may have been planned to get a better feel for how you dealt with the two styles. The rest of the day seemed to flow pretty well. There was a little bit of down time here and there not accounted for and a first and second year class schedule were not available to us for whatever reason. Portland is a great place so I would encourage people to take an extra day to check out the city and maybe even the hospital on your own. " Report Response
