Focus on the developmental milestones, know what age certain reflexes go away (moro reflex, pincer grasp, babinski reflex, etc). Also, know things like what is expected of a 6 month old vs 9 month old, etc. Good luck!

I emailed ---- as well. She said she will start calling us to set up interviews after the brunch on Friday (for those who cannot make it on Friday). She also said the CTICU is interviewing 12 and hiring 4 people.
