Congratulations to everyone who has received interviews so far! And for those who havenât yet, don't worry. The season has just started, and interviews can come through even until January, so stay hopeful!
As you prepare, I recommend starting mock interviews now. Practice with your colleagues or even online with strangers. Make sure you turn your video camera on and observe each other, this is crucial. Ideal preparation goes beyond memorizing answers; it's about learning to articulate clearly, concisely, and with confidence.
Accent doesnât matter as long as your responses are clear and understandable. Take notes on everything you say, and keep refining your answers. With practice, youâll feel much more prepared!
Good luck!

My program talks about setting achievable goals and thatâs been helpful. Example: Iâm doing anki (long story) my mentor said 5 cards/ day is reasonable. For board questions, 10 qs. Basically make the tasks very achievable. I went from being paralyzed and doing no qs to 70/week
I'll always look back at #July2024 as the month where my most precious dream became my reality. A month that terrified & challenged me & had me grow every day! In the toughest moments, I was aware of the privilege that it all is. Onwardsđ #InternalMedicine #residency #medtwitter
Best article recommendation I've received yet as an incoming intern on 1st July this year:

1) Why is the patient here / chief concern?
- This seems like the most basic question that is often overlooked. What made the patient decide to leave his/her house to come to the hospital?
- When reading the overnight H&P, the abundance of clinical documentation can create confusion.
- Simplicity is key. What is the chief concern? Is it chest pain? Is it dyspnea on exertion? Knowing this information will help frame your thoughts.

Intern year was one of the toughest experiences of my life, but also one of the most gratifying. I want to share some reflections on my attempts to maintain mental wellness. Hopefully some points resonate with the new interns.
This first week, my senior residents taught me some special lessons: they were patient & kind, stopped what they were doing to teach/answer anything I asked, let me observe their patient interactions & so, taught me to open doors for others that were previously opened for you.

My favourite thing about our #orientationweek at LSU UHC has been that every time I asked someone for directions, they walked me to where I needed to be. It really counted in an otherwise overwhelming week with so much new information! #MedTwitter #NewBeginnings

Marrying the right guy matters, but marrying into an educated family is so important & often less talked about. My in-laws, both professors, make me feel so liberated! To younger women, my advice: Marry into generational education, not generational wealth. You'll be much happier.

If you want a homemaker wife who doesnât care about degrees, then choose that type of woman. But donât find a career focused woman and tell her to drop her degrees to become a homemaker wife.
Your preference is out there but your attention is somewhere else. Make it make sense.
