Medical School and Residency Interview Preparation

Congratulations! You’ve received an interview, and that in and of itself is a major accomplishment. It also usually means that your grades, exam scores, and experiences, are strong enough to gain acceptance if the institution decides that you are a good fit after interview day. The medical school or residency interview can be stressful for many, as it is difficult to anticipate all of the questions that may be asked. Fortunately, you do not have to prepare for all of the possible questions that could come during interview day. Rather, ideal preparation involves practicing the most common and difficult interview questions, and then developing strategies that are applicable to any other question that may come your way. Our physician advisors have conducted several interviews for preparation at top medical school and residency programs, and can help develop these strategies while ensuring that the most common questions and appropriate answers are practiced thoroughly prior to interview day.
