   I did phone interviews (with speaker phone with a panel of people). I don't know how competitive it was, but you look up any of those hospitals on this website and you won't find much information on them. So, the competition is not like it is for U...

   I'm REALLY glad they didn't wait a month to start to contact folks. I have no idea what's after the 1-1 interview (I'll let you know how it goes). For the folks who haven't received calls yet, don't fret! They probably are making a lot more calls ...
