      Marcie's Feedback

      Excellent! The interviewer will appreciate that you're looking for comprehensive clinical training and an opportunity to conduct research. Are any of the following elements also important to you?: prestige/reputation, location, what graduates have done after completing the program (they can open doors), the flexibility of clinical schedules, high procedural volume, a comfortable living environment, and so on. If so, be sure to mention them and how this program will satisfy those requirements for you. Nice job!
