THE MOCK INTERVIEW | Medical School Edition

[@samyakonda7210]

I loveee that you actually did a MOCK interview. Everyone's always giving vague tips and this helps so much more! Thank you so much

[@todo870]

I know this is a mock interview, but I’m still so jealous how all her answers are perfect.

[@beaudwayne3208]

You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me

[@sharjjahnaziz4122]

Mine was only 4 minutes. I already knew these interviewing doctors since the age of yearsof age.

[@karenguzman351]

What makes it more nerve wracking is when the interviewer stares at you all the time like in this video

[@comoplaysdestiny5106]

most of the time they will be writing and taking notes while interviewing

[@byams_bellah3917]

Don't be shy or afraid, be confident nobody is your god there, feel like you're the god of your interviewer....

This brings me so much comfort especially because it’s black women💞 My interview is next month.

You guys made it seem so real and natural...amazing and extremely useful. Thank you so much!

Wow. This is amazing! Those questions asked to the faculty are really good. I wish I saw this video before my medical school interview.

@@TheChocolateDocs Yes, thankfully it did. I've been admitted and will matriculate soon.

[@TheChocolateDocs]

Marie Wisa Beauge That’s awesome! Congrats on your accomplishment!

[@ericlui2383]

Just curious, can we really be that happy during the interview? I mean it is good to be confident but should we also be a bit serious?

[@bernie9564]

Be yourself but also read the room. If your interviewer is coming off as someone who's receptive to enthusiasm ( most people are ) then you should do that. If you it doesn't come naturally to you, don't force it, people don't respond well to inauthenticity. At the end of the day, the interviews are with people so think about what people like and how people respond.

[@RichObiQuan]

Good question

[@Kanorr]

I was cracking jokes during my interview. Worked out for me

Wow! I relate so much to the interviewee. I’m passionate about teaching and mentoring too. I’m outdoorsy and Nigerian-American too! Sending y’all love!

[@brooklynspades701]

This was so helpful for me. I was thinking about it like I'm interviewing with the school. I kept hearing advice like, "think of it like a conversation" and "Make it personal, try to connect" and it didn't click for me until now. I think you showed really well that you're interviewing with the individual. Thanks for this amazing video!

[@Dejandthings]

When they say tell me about yourself I though my that meant they were interested in your work history.

i'm not a medical student but i am a future physical therapy student preparing for her interview. looking at this mock interview has helped! thank you ladies

@@utahimeiori8739 It went pretty well! The interviewers were pretty welcoming! I would say don't try to script your answers too much cause I fell into that trap. Be natural and conversational, and don't forget to show lots of enthusiasm. I am sure you will rock it!!! Best of luck!

[@TheChocolateDocs]

[@HeavenlySunset24]

I really feel like interviews are my weak subject, I plan to take a lot of leadership and speech classes in college to make me more comfortable in a professional setting so that I can think clearly enough to answer the questions in the best way possible.

[@vivekkrishnan351]

I have my first interview coming up in October, and this was incredibly helpful, thank you so much! Quick question: were y'all ever asked about healthcare policy in any of your interviews? I feel like I know a little bit about the bureaucratic side of medicine, but i'm not confident in my ability to talk at length on that subject. Any tips, or resources?

[@TheChocolateDocs]

Thanks so much for the support and congrats on your interviews! That is so exciting! In regards to your question, I actually wasn't asked any questions about healthcare policy. Nneka was asked about universal healthcare, but gave a pretty basic response. However, to be prepared, I would just familiarize yourself with a few basic facts and general understanding of our healthcare system. We don't have any specific websites or articles to refer you to, but you can just google and find what you need. Hope that helps and good luck on the interview trail!

[@tamikasmall9557]

This is such a great video, thank you so much🙏🏾!!

great mock interview! thank you! one question; do interviewers typically want an example of something to "back up" what you're saying is, for instance, a strength or weakness?

Hello Chocolate Docs! I have an interview coming up in a couple weeks. Is it appropriate for one of the questions I ask them at the end of the interview when they ask me if I have any questions to be about housing? I could reword it as "how do you like living here? " I understand that there's a whole department for housing questions ... what do you guys think?

[@TheChocolateDocs]

Congrats on getting an interview! It definitely is appropriate especially if you're interviewing at a place that you're not familiar with. You deserve to get opinions from various people. Of course, have 2 or 3 other questions prepared as well. Good luck!

Thank you so much!

[@Justiceisone]

Very helpful videos! Been trying to get good scores on my UK entrance exams (GAMSAT/UKCAT) for years so I can hit interview stage, so these videos definitely help a lot. I was wondering if interviewers would potentially question why it took me as long as it has to finally get to interview stages, and if so, would they be discouraged if it was partly due to my entrance exam results not being high enough? I also have done other degrees over the years to build my resume so I would definitely state those as the main reason.

[@TheChocolateDocs]

Hi! Once you get to the interview stage, the interviewers want to get to know YOU! They've already seen your scores and experience and they liked you enough to invite you for an interview! So be honest and and be yourself. Good luck!

[@Justiceisone]

@@TheChocolateDocs Thank you! That's good to hear, it had been on my mind for a while haha. God bless

[@lilymalik6041]

I’ll probably sound stupid but what do you mean clinical or academic Edit: does clinical mean not teaching and academic mean teaching

I think by clinical they mean hands on learning from hospitals and academic is like lectures

The length of time you're interviewed varies by person and by school. Some interviews last 30 minutes while others are an hour long.

[@TheChocolateDocs]

Of course! The most important thing is to be yourself!

[@Pmknteets]

Damn wish I could hear better

[@nene8860]

Don’t interviewers dock you points for saying umm or uhh a lot. I know this a practice video but that’s something I noticed.

[@cloudtheavegner1000]

While yes, you should avoid that, that's not a set in stone rule. Interviewers are people and there are variations among people. You should note that only 7% of communication is verbal. 38% is tone. 55% is non-verbal like your body language. Your tone and non-verbal communication will fulfill the most important aspect of your interview: making you seem personable. Being personable is key to any interview. Many questions are just meant to keep you talking so they can get a feel of you. When you hang out with friends, are you going to remember everything that was said, word for word? If your friend is going through a hard time, how are you more likely to find out? Are they going to tell you or do you feel something is off about them? Watch the video again, on mute, and tell me the feeling you get off of her.

[@cloudtheavegner1000]

Naya one more thing. While saying “um” can you, if you lack pauses you can come off as a robot/rehearsed, which is equally, if not more damaging. That being said, I say it’s better to don’t be afraid to pause mid sentence if you can’t get your thoughts in order as oppose to “um” “you know” and other filler words.

[@emmaspracklen7565]

I don’t really think skin color is a disadvantage. This interview REALLY emphasizes this instead of playing on your personal strengths, which I know you have. I was really REALLY annoyed by this.

[@kcake3501]

Skin color is a disadvatange especially if the entire panel are caucasians. They expect more of black people, so with black applicants they need to show out with gpas and a great interview.

[@newtbrowne8359]

The interviewer should stand up and greet the candidate, firm handshake and the interviewer was saying "um" to often. This is a poor interview sample.

[@kcake3501]

Yea, I agree. The um is too much

[@angelot2116]

I love this, and it's very helpful. Thanks so much!!
