Basics of Residency Interviews

Class Objectives:

​USMLE residency ​Interviews provide an opportunity for you and your desired program to decide how well your skills align with the program’s needs. Interviews allow you to get better acquainted with prospective residents and obtain information to help you determine whether that program is the right one for you. The lack of adequate planning for an interview is the most significant fault in several studies on the interviewing process, specially for foreign medical graduates. A moderate amount of training can easily prevent such unfortunate occurrences. This class teaches you the necessary skills on how to excel on your interview day, whether you are interviewing for a spot at a university program or a community hospital, whether it is remote interview or on-site.
