2. A recruiter sent instructions by email and followed up with a phone call.
3. One AI interview, taken the day after applying.

• Your specialty, and why you count as an expert in it.
• A recent clinical case and how you reasoned through it.
• One way language models could help in medicine, and how you would measure whether it works.

• Asked sensible follow-up questions on each answer.
