Saira Kalia MD, Associate Residency Program Director discusses the program's perspective and workflow of the program from receiving to selecting residency applicants. Tips on Virtual Interview Included.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
There are about 100 applicants per residency opening.
There are about 10 interviews per residency opening.
If you got an interview then there is a 90% chance that you will get ranked.
The ranking depends less on objective assessment (scores, MSPE, etc.) but rather on the personal statement and the interview day performance.
🤦♀️ Obvious, but important:
Show interest in Specialty
Show interest in Program (research it)
💻 Other Tips
Make sure you carry yourself professionally not just for the interview but for the whole interview day
Virtual Interviews are harder; find good light, internet connection & do not interrupt (if you do, then apologize; it's hard on zoom)
Avoid silly spelling mistakes on personal statement
