Pretty reasonable read, very concise.
What I got from it:
1. When describing personal experiences, don't focus too much on the story description, but really emphasize what you learned from it + how it will help you in residency.
Be specific in how these skills may help you in residency and beyond (ie if your skills are in cultural sensitivity, then maybe you can mention that my ambition is to work in a rural practice where I will interact with people of different values and beliefs ...)
2. Know the program well. Can specifically say why you want a program + how you will fit in well. For example, the program emphasizes research, maybe you have done a lot of research and are particularly interested in doctor X's lab work.
3. People who don't perform well often are the ones with multiple interviews, as they feel they dont need to prepare/ace each interview.
4. Learn about common issues facing the field you are applying to and how to solve them (ie back log of surgeries from covid pandemic, nursing shortages, growing specialization, decreased interest in the field, lack of diversity).
5. For MMI type questions (ie describe the picture), take time to describe the image, but come up with a theme ie resilience, then find a way to incorporate a personal story into your answer.
6. For virtual interviews, place your laptop camera at eye level = less likely to slouch in your chair. Sit in an immovable chair, so that wont turn or fidget. Want upper torso visible on screen. Turn off all notifications + cellphone. Ideally want natural looking light coming from the side.
