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

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

@@beaudwayne3208 uhhh… do the “forgot my password”

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

Ikr this makes me cry

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

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

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.

Good question

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

Haha i probably am if i make a mistake nd laught at my own mistake😂

Sihala _m Thanks love!

Diva walk thanks for the support! We’re glad you enjoyed it! And no, they don’t tell you beforehand if it’s a blind interview or not. You can just pick up on it during the interview or the interviewer may tell you.

That's what we're here for. Thanks for the support!

Glad you enjoyed it love!

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!

@Vivek single though?

Aww thank you! We're glad it brings you joy!

Don’t go into the interview trying to be a comedian just be yourself!

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!

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

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!

I'm sure you were amazing and gave it your all!

Araceli Juarez any update?

Anyways it went good but for my externship interview wasn't what I expected 😂 They just told me about the facility and when I am able to start, and how I'll be able to get there.

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

The Chocolate Docs ||| I did my interview but I wasn't that friendly but I made him laugh just a bit

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yea, I agree. The um is too much
