How To Answer Residency Interview Questions With Examples

The most important part of the whole USMLE Process is the Interview Period of NRMP MATCH which makes or breaks the deal for a Residency Program to select you as a Resident Doctor. What was surprising to me during my USMLE journey was that every one talks about just USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2 CK Preparation( which interestingly are not what matter in the end); But no one focuses on the quintessential - Interviewing.

[@padmapolagani2487]

Sooo..informative and very useful video.. Thank you so much Dr.Madaan.. Please clarify with one doubt Mr.Madaan.. Does it effects the chances of getting interviews and matching process,if an Indian medical graduate takes 8 to 9 yrs to complete his ug and had just pass marks with 2 to 3 attempts in many of his ug subjects,even though he gets good scores in step1 and step2 Dr.Madaan.. Please clarify once.. I have been asking you the same question for more than 2months..but not answered..

Hello Manik, I've been following you for a long time on youtube and really appreciate your work. The Content is amazing.

[@NimNim2024]

Sorry but for a residency interview 'introducing yourself' part that is a way long conversation and bores out the interviewer. One should not make it longer than a minute. They are not there to know about your cat name you can make the talk short and concise so the interviewer would not lose attention.
