SDN Announces Improved Interview Feedback Databases
PRESS RELEASE
The Student Doctor Network is very pleased to announce the re-release of one of its most
popular features: the Interview Feedback Database. Reworked from the ground up and transferred to a more familiar interface, the new database is more efficient and user-friendly than ever.
We used your feedback to redesign this invaluable resource around how you’ve told us you use it. For example, users may now leave comments on interview reviews they found particularly helpful. As the 2009 application cycle begins to ramp up, be sure you take a moment to stop by the new Interview Feedback area for your chosen degree; after all, chance favors the prepared mind! Once you complete your interview, stop by again to share your experience so that those who come after you may benefit as well!
