Medical Residency Interview Preparation
Medical Residency interviews are high pressure, because they happen only once a year. A successful interview can be your entryway into the program, but an unsuccessful interview may result in a year-long delay. With my Medical Residency Interview Preparation Program, you'll be confident in your interaction with your interviewer.
Program Content
Doctor DNA
Understanding your Doctor DNA is one of the most important steps to being able to give compelling answers to common questions. Together, we'll understand what makes you unique as a physician, and the topics that are most valuable to share in your interview.
​
Behavioral Questions
One of the most difficult parts of a Medical Residency Interview are the behavioral questions. After going through a soft-skill analysis and reviewing your Career Roadmap, we'll identify the moments from your career that are appropriate answers to behavioral questions.
Answer Structures
Our goal is not to memorize answers, but rather for you to communicate confidently, coherently, and flexibly in your interview. To do that, you'll practice using structures appropriate for interviews to communicate persuasively, but also humbly and respectfully.
​
Case Study Database
Instead of memorizing answers, we'll work together to develop a flexible Case Study Database that shows the interview you'll be a resident who not only has the stamina to complete a high-pressure program, but also a positive community member who contributes to the program.

This isn't English class
Although my program is designed specifically for non-native English speakers, this is not English class! Instead, the goal is to show you how to use certain tools and strategies with the English level that you have right now.
Internalized Structure, No Memorized Answers
The most difficult part about any interview is simply: we do not know what you'll be asked. For that reason, memorizing answers does not work. Rather than crafting perfect answers for questions you may or may not be asked, we'll learn strategies that can be applied to any question you are asked in the interview.
Simulated Practice & Lots of Feedback
The best way to prepare for an interview is with targeted feedback. That's why in each session, we prioritize communicating in the same style as in an interview. You'll receive honest feedback for improvement, taking small steps towards more confident communication.
An effective session for us means you've done 80% of the talking (speaking in the style of an interview), and your coach does 20% of the talking (giving feedback for improvement).
​
Each session involves a preparation assignment, ensuring continuity in your preparation, but also leading to more effective coaching sessions.
