    How to Nail Your Residency Interview

    Today's episode is about how to shift the residency interview from a "stressful requirement" to your "secret weapon" regardless of your board scores, academic accolades, or numerous research publications. And if you're like me, you've been told some variation of:  "You won't make it." "You're not good enough." "Consider another career."
