Frequently Asked Questions

One hour. We ask you questions in the first half-hour and provide feedback in the second half.

Once you sign up, you will select your Physician Advisor and schedule your session. You will also receive an email link to schedule a session if you need to select a day and time later.

Most students receive the greatest benefit from two or three mock interviews. That way they can implement feedback and gain experience with different interviewers with varying styles.

Yes! Every Physician Advisor at MedSchoolCoach is a physician with admissions committee experience. That means they know the questions you will be asked and how to best answer them.

While our Physician Advisors have interviewed candidates at a variety of programs, our interview prep is focused on making you a great interviewee in general, not just for one program.

Yes! Once you sign up for interview prep, we will send you instructions on how you can record the session.

First, you need to decide which type of residency program you want to go into. You can go into a primary care residency, which is a general practice residency, or you can go into a subspecialty residency, which is a residency in a specific field. You can also look into the location of the residency program. You may want to look into programs in certain states or cities because they may have better job opportunities. Matching into residency is really critical.
