Why Interview:

In the present application season, most of the programs offer residency based on interviews and the mode may be virtual or in-person. You already know that residency in the USA is free of cost and you will get paid by the program. The idea to conduct interviews before allocating any seat to residents is to understand whether they are a good fit for their program or not.



Concept

Preparing for an interview season is the last destination for applicants. But have you ever thought of; the actual schedule of the program for a particular specialty? What are they expecting in you and your personality? Will you be enough capable to meet all their requirement? Such common questions of a particular program are also to be taught in interview training.

With the solution, PROGRAM INSIDER initiates program or specialty-specific interviewers, who will not only take your mock but also allow you to ask program/specialty-specific questions which are generally asked by PROGRAM DIRECTORS.
