Pretty straightforward interview. It started with an overview of the program, what to expect, and the specific requirements. After around 30 minutes, we moved onto the questions. There were 4; two of which were general questions and the other two were situational questions. We only took around 1 hour for the entire meeting.

Interview
Fairly straightforward, students are put into breakout rooms (around 3-5 kids in each) with one instructor. Then, each of the students is asked 3-4 Interview questions which are fairly simple. A key thing they focus on is leadership experience and experience in a group enviornment, as a hospital enviornment is based on teamwork.
