Getting In: How to stand out from the crowd and ACE your residency interview

The 2015 NRMP data shows that while the USMLE Step 1 is the single most important factor in granting an applicant an interview, interpersonal communication skills matter the most when choosing who to rank and ultimately hire. Why spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars preparing for the USMLE exams, only to wing the interview? In Getting In, Dr. Myers Hurt outlines the necessary steps to prepare for this crucial conversation. You will learn: The different types of interviews to expect How to best communicate with programs How to answer difficult - even illegal - questions How you will be evaluated Investing time and effort preparing for the interview day will reduce anxiety, increase your confidence, and ensure you are representing your best self when it matters the most. Getting In will help you stand out for the right reasons, and match at your dream program!

     Getting In is intended to be an accessible, no-nonsense guide to the residency interview. It is filled with bare-bones, concise action steps that students can use now to better their chances in the NRMP Residency Match.
     I successfully navigated this process myself as an applicant, matched at my number one ranked program, and then sat on the hiring side of the desk as a Chief Resident just three years later.
     This book is for everyone - top-tier applicants hoping to stand out at hyper-competitive programs and IMGs looking to match anywhere will both find the information useful.
