Residency Application – Residency Mock Interviews
You would never take the Boards without preparing, but the interview can be equally – or more – important to your residency candidacy. Once you get your foot in the door, don’t risk interviewing without significant preparation.
Having reviewed your residency application, Dr. Finkel helps you sail through the bread and butter questions and teaches you how to confidently formulate responses when you’re thrown a curveball. Learn to comfortably respond to questions about potential weaknesses in your application so that your lasting impression is one of poise and polish.
Dr. Finkel also gives you tips on pre- and post-interviewing etiquette to provide an additional advantage. After your Mock Interview, Dr. Finkel sends you an individualized document with the feedback discussed so that you can review on your own.
Dr. Finkel represents the highest standards in the field – editing every essay personally and offering each client direct access to her advice. She is involved with every applicant who hires her and does not outsource to less experienced advisors.
