TorontoMDConsultant Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Doing 'hard' interview prep (going through actual questions) before actually getting an interview could be overkill because it may make you come across as scripted. However, 'soft' interview prep long before the interview is certainly a good idea. This includes activities that exercise your interpersonal skills & charisma, such as going to Toastmasters or doing Improv classes. This won't change the content of your answers but it will improve your structure and delivery, which is arguably more important than your actual answers. During this time period, you can also do some self-reflection to create a bank of solid stories that describe who you are in a positive light. Lastly, this is a good time read up on issues in healthcare. Not only will this help you understand the nuances of various healthcare systems, it will also help you formulate cool tidbits of information that you can use in many of your answers.

Vivieeeeeee Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I agree with the above and think it's a bit overkill to go to specific med interview classes before you actually get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiconC Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I disagree with the above--I believe that the more familiar you get with the classic interview questions, the more confident you will be, and thus the better you will be in terms of sounding natural. An actor doesn't limit the amount they understand a script in order to sound more convincing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
