Here's the website for the Interview Materials https://residency.teachable.com/p/interview

1. Research the Program

   Dive deep into the residency program's structure, goals, and key rotations. Understand their mission statement and identify what makes them unique. This will help you tailor your responses and show genuine interest. Use the Excel file to match your APPEs to other residency rotations and offerings. Make sure you talk about PGY-2 if it's available.

2. Review Your Application

   Familiarize yourself with your CV and personal statement. Be prepared to discuss any experiences or projects you mentioned in detail. Highlight your achievements and how they align with the program’s strengths. Again, it's the match, don't highlight your achievements as look at what I did, but look at how we are similar.

3. Practice Behavioral Questions

   Expect questions like, “Tell me about a time you overcame a challenge.” Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers clearly and concisely. There is much more detail in the course about the ROCK STAR and RACE START questions and answers, you can also use those techniques on the supplemental questions.

4. Prepare Questions for Them

   Thoughtful questions show interest and engagement. Ask about mentorship opportunities, unique rotations, or the program’s approach to professional development. Avoid questions you could easily find online. The best questions keep the conversation going.

5. Brush Up on Clinical Knowledge

   Be ready to answer clinical scenarios or demonstrate your thought process in solving problems. Review key disease states, drug interactions, and treatment guidelines relevant to the program's focus.
