We offer students and GME programs the opportunity to participate in an annual residency fair organized by the Office of Graduate Medical Education. Students are able to meet with representatives from a wide variety of GME programs representing diverse specialties to explore issues such as training requirements, professional responsibilities, and work-life balance.

Mock interviewing is available to our OMS4s preparing for the upcoming Match application cycle. Interviews are 30 minutes and include a feedback session aimed at increasing your readiness and confidence before an actual residency interview.

We are pleased to offer you a free training system that features a new and innovative way to help you prepare more effectively for a residency interview.  Given the challenges of COVID-19 and the use of online interviews, Big Interview medical offers a step-by-step system combining expert video lessons and an interactive interview practice tool to help students interview with confidence.

Big Interview Medical is an online system that combines training AND practice to help improve your online interview technique and build your confidence.
