Audience:
Medicine

This dynamic, interactive residency mock interview practice session was designed by UCSF Career and Professional Development (CPD) and the School of Medicine (SOM) Career Advising Co-Directors to help MS4s sharpen their interview skills ahead of their residency interviews.

During this event, students will engage in a series of brief “interviews” with different SOM faculty, coaches, and alumni in a round robin fashion. Students will have the opportunity to practice their interview skills and get 1:1 feedback in a supportive virtual environment.

This event is open to all MS4s. Space for this workshop is very limited so please register ASAP to secure your spot today!

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this program, you will be able to:

  • Concisely and comprehensively articulate responses to different types of residency interview questions
  • Identify areas of improvement and leverage actionable feedback to improve your interview skills
