What kinds of questions should one prepare to answer during prelim interviews? Should one bring a CV, publications, etc? Thanks

Do you mean prelim medicine? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. Most of my prelim interviews consisted of a 15 minute talk with the PD and maybe one other faculty member. Very laid back, and general interviews. Most of my prelim interviews were half a day, and included those interviews, a tour and maybe lunch. Not sure what you're applying for an advanced position in but those tend to be far more involved.

The one caveat is at major top 10 medicine programs. For those, they were a little more rigorous because you just interview alongside categorical interviewees. Good luck!
