About this title

Synopsis

As a graduating medical student, you know what’s coming this year: interviewing for the NRMP Match. You’ve applied to programs in your intended specialization, and now you’re waiting for interview invitations to start rolling in. Your MD is around the corner, and you’re eager to begin practicing medicine as a resident. Well done!For many, the Match-interview season means visiting departments nationwide. But why spend so much time and energy traveling to hospital campuses? The answer is simple: the NRMP Program Director Survey has reported that fewer than 14% of a program’s applicants are invited to campus in any given year. Any time a program expresses interest in hiring you, you’ll need an edge to help you stand out in this elite crowd. But what, exactly, are program directors looking for? How can you ace your interviews and Match into the residency of your dreams?Luckily, the second edition of Getting In is here to help. With a blend of sound advice and light humor, Dr. Myers Hurt, a board-certified physician and former University of Texas Medical Branch faculty member, outlines a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to the Match-interview season. In this book, Dr. Hurt addresses scheduling and planning, prepping for campus visits, navigating the traditional pre-interview dinner, dressing for success, responding to (and asking) interview questions, and following up with faculty and staff. When you finish this book, you will have read the only concise, practical guide that addresses the logistics, psychology, and nuances of residency interviews, and getting in will be eminently within your reach!
