How to maximize your residency interviews 

Class Objectives:

An essential skill during the Match cycle is how and when to contact the residency programs to request interviews. While the response rate is not too high, many international medical graduates (IMGs) make it work with well-crafted emails or a well-rehearsed phone call. Every year programs receive thousands of applications, and due to the overwhelming number, filters now play a significant role in whether a candidate gets an interview. Hence, it is vital to stand out and make a case for yourself in the form of an interest email. In this class, we go over the strategies to maximize your interview yield, how to reach out to programs, and several key points that will allow you to stand out in a field of applicants.
