Interview Experience
NEW

"20mins interview with 4 interviewers - each had 2 standard questions, and the 20mins went by very quickly. One 15mins session to give feedback on a medical student taking a patient history. The PC was very very friendly and approachable, and extremely willing to help in anyway possible and she was very welcoming. The residents love the program and they have a women's health track and it is very popular and busy there. Most of the residents live in St Loius. "

"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. "
