“…Despite the importance of the interview for successfully matching into a desired specialty, few published reports have addressed strategies to help students improve their interviewing performance [13][14][15][16]. A careful search of the literature demonstrated no descriptions or assessments of formal, comprehensive medical school programs designed to assist the development of student interviewing skills.…”

“…In response, some scholars have recommended that students schedule practice interviews with mentoring faculty at their home institution in order to rehearse answers to common interview questions or questions that the student may anticipate as being difficult to handle [17,18]. More formally, some professional schools have instituted Bmock interviews^in which students are personally coached in a more structured format on how to improve their interview performance [14,16].…”

The imbalance resulting from an increasing number of medical school graduates combined with a relatively stable number of residency spots is creating a challenge for U.S. medical students attempting to secure postgraduate residency training. This trend increases the stakes for medical students in their applications to residency training programs and places much higher importance on performing effectively during residency interviews. With little to no formal training in interviewing skills, U.S. medical school graduates may be ill prepared to face challenges presented during both formal and informal residency interviews. In order to better prepare fourth-year medical students at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, faculty mentors constructed and implemented a comprehensive residency interview practice performance initiative entitled BMock Interviews^. The mentors enlisted available faculty from within the learning communities to conduct these interviews and provide immediate feedback to students in advance of their actual residency interviews.Collected data show that this program has been progressively well received and quite successful in helping students achieve an increased level of perceived preparedness in their residency interviews. Requiring minimal cost and little infrastructure, and utilizing available resources within most medical schools, this program appears to serve as a logical next step in the training of medical students for securing postgraduate residency spots.

“…2 Onsite interviews can be costly (economically and timewise) for residency programs as well as for students applying to multiple programs. Therefore, the use of phone interviews (and, in some instances, Web-based teleconferencing) 3 as a screening tool for determining which applicants should be offered an onsite interview appears to be growing in popularity. Phone interviews allow programs to evaluate an applicant's interpersonal skills and the level of "fit" with the residency position and, conversely, allow applicants to evaluate the fit between their residency and career goals and a program's expectations.…”

“…[1][2][3] The competitive nature of the RMP impresses on applicants the need to thoroughly prepare for the application and interview process in order to have the best chance of being ranked by the programs in which they are most interested. We conducted a survey to determine the factors that programs use to select their residents for an onsite interview and subsequent rank.…”
