"The interview (Zoom) began at 7:30, allowing some time to welcome the applicants and talk about the day (they sent an itinerary ahead of time, which was very nice). 7:45-8:30 was a presentation about the program and city given by the residency coordinator and an R3. This was followed by break-out rooms of 25 min one-on-one interviews with the PD, two faculty, an R3, and an intern. There were 9 interviewees and 5 interviewers, which allowed for break times. Each break-out room experience was slightly different - there was no medical/"pimping" questions. I was asked where I was located/from by most, and all followed up their questions by asking if I had any for them. The PD asked why I went to school where I did, to tell him about a patient I've recently seen who taught me something, what makes me smile, and to describe my work ethic and how it was developed/learned. The intern is also an IMG, she answered all of my questions openly and made it clear that the program "wants to give you the training you want, and want you to be happy." She made it clear that the interview is to know me as a person. The R3 was most interested in answering questions, very kind and focused on finding common ground in my interests/hobbies section - we nerded out over a fantasy author we both really enjoy and talked about our budding artistic abilities. One of the faculty that is helping establish a new fellowship with the program asked me mainly about how my rotations in my medical school/country worked (did I put in orders, write notes, manage patients?), what my peds/OB/inpatient experience was like. He was the only one that asked "Tell me about yourself" (clarifying - where you're from, family). He asked what my hardest rotation was and why. My last break-out room was with a faculty member who focused on questions pertaining to me as a person/outside of medicine. "Tell me about you outside of medicine." "What do you do to care for yourself/stay healthy?" "What are your passions?" The break-out rooms were followed by "lunch with residents." Most of the residents present (about 8-9) were in a conference room eating lunch while they spoke with us. It was very informal, lots of banter. One of the coordinators kept it on track by asking them to each tell us 1) What they find/found most challenging about residency and 2) Their favorite part about residency. At the conclusion, she also asked one of them to fill us in on the didactics of the program. We were told that if we had any questions at all to not hesitate to email/call the residents. There is supposed to be an open house 2 weeks after the interview, it was stressed that it is informal, no need to perform or dress up. "

"The night before, the residents did a Q&A for the interview candidates. The morning of, the program coordinator shared a little bit about the program while waiting for the Program Director to give a powerpoint presentation about the program. We then moved into a waiting room with the other candidates and had the chance to chat with each other and occasionally with the program coordinator. We interviewed with the PD, faculty and the program coordinator. "

"Virtual interview, the PD and faculty are lovely people. Interview was very conversational and chill."

"Very kind interviewers. No medical questions. Long day though! But good. "

"it was a virtual interview! the first one was with APD which went really well, we connected very quickly and talked about many things i think she was impressed by me another one was with PD which also went well. he seems really nice and genuine doctor"

"It was a decent interview. It was virtual due to the times of COVID and all. Had a good time with every one."
