What are your general comments?

"It was stressful. He was very tough of an interviewer in that he was drilling on academics and your ability to act as a physician now even though we aren't at that point. He never gave you an approving or disapproving response. He was very very very neutral. It was hard to read how the interview was going." Report Response
