Resident Vibe
Virtual meet-and-greets are different than in-person socials, but you should have been able to get a general sense of the vibe of the residents from each program. What are the kind of people you want to be around? How did the residents make you feel?

It's January, which means there's less than a month before rank order lists open. One thing to start considering is potentially sending a letter of intent. Not sure what that is or whether you should send one? Let's talk about it!
Shoutout to @LizRaoof for the thread idea!

I keep hearing about this “letter of intent”. What is it?
A letter of intent is a letter that is sent to the program you plan to rank #1 on your rank order list with the purpose of making that known to the program. Simple, right? There are some things you should know though.

Tip #1: Be thoughtful of your background.
Plain backgrounds are a fairly common choice. Pick a color that allows you to stand out (and not blend into the wall). I don’t recommend virtual backgrounds because of the associated lag and cutting out parts of your body with motion.

You can also have things in the background, but be prepared to talk about them. I had artwork with a favorite quote and a medal from my first half marathon behind me, and both came up in conversation. The rest of the wall behind me was light-colored and blank.
🧵 The 7th and final part of my Residency Interview Prep Series and the 11th thread in my #Tweetorial series for #Match2022 and #PedsMatch22: Out-Of-The-Box Questions 🧵

Can you think on your feet? Here are 20 examples people have been asked before. Let’s begin!
Here’s the thing about out-of-the-box questions. You’re unlikely to get asked them, so I wouldn’t invest much time into preparing for them. However, you may get asked one or two, so it’s not a bad idea to have at least thought about them briefly so you have an answer.
1. What would you give a Ted Talk on?
Quite honestly, this might be one of my favorite interview questions, not because I enjoy answering it, but because your answer tells a lot about your values and passions, as well as what you might want your impact and legacy to be.

Think about the types of questions you ask. A lot of generic information about programs and curricula can be found on program websites or databases. I would encourage you to ask thoughtful questions about things you wouldn’t be able to find the answer to online.
Here are 20 examples of questions I had prepared for all of my interviews. I obviously didn’t ask them all in each interview. I would tend to ask questions based on who I was speaking with and what I still needed to get a better sense of about the program.

1. Tell me about a negative interaction you had with an attending or resident. How did you deal with it?
This isn’t a question to see if you have tough skin, but rather to see how you handle conflict or stress, as well as navigate interpersonal/interprofessional relationships.

2. Give me an example of a time when you had a difficult communication problem.
Good communication is the cornerstone of any relationship, including those with colleagues, staff, and patients. It’s important to recognize when communication is poor and take action to improve it.

@FuturePedsRes
When it comes to answering behavioral type interview questions, you'll want to consider addressing the following:
- Describe the situation.
- What did YOU do?
- What happened?
- What did you learn?
- How has this changed your perspective?
- How will it impact you moving forward?

1. Tell me about a time you tried to accomplish something and failed.
This isn’t about the failure, but rather what the pursuit was and how your approached it, understanding why you failed, your takeaways, and how that failure shaped you and will affect your future endeavors.

1. Tell me about a preceptor you liked and a preceptor you didn’t like.
This question does a good job of touching on a lot of things, including what you value in a teacher or mentor, interpersonal relationships, and the impact of role modeling on your growth.

2. Talk about a time you struggled in medical school.
Essentially the adversity question but in the context of medical school. It matters less what the struggle is and more what you did about it. However, I would suggest being mindful of what struggle you share.

🧵 Here is Part 2 of my Residency Interview Prep Series and the 6th thread in my #Tweetorial series for #Match2022 and #PedsMatch22: Questions About Residency Programs 🧵
What questions might you expect about residency, specific programs, and career interests? Let’s find out!
What questions might you expect about residency, specific programs, and career interests? Let’s find out!
1. What are you looking for in a residency program?
You WILL be asked this. Preparing for this question will help you identify what core attributes and qualities of a program truly matter to you at the end of the day, which will also help you when it comes time to rank programs.

2. Why would you be a good fit at our program?
Think beyond the superficial answers for questions like these. Interviewers want to know that you’ve really put time into deciding to apply to their program, and they want to find the right fit just as much as you do!

When I tell ppl I'm interested in abortion and pediatrics, they're perplexed.
"Why not OB-Gyn? Why not FM?"
"So you'll want to specialize?"
"We don't deal with abortion in peds"
We may not *deal* with abortion, but pediatric patients sure do. Buckle up, a thread.

According to the (literal) textbooks, an estimated 1/3 of teens will experience pregnancy by age 20.
That's a higher prevalence than childhood obesity (19.3% per CDC).
We don't think about pregnancy as a pediatric issue because we don't want to.

In the '90s, 4 out of 10 adolescent women became pregnant at least once during their teen years, 40% of whom sought an abortion (which remains safer than childbirth, especially when you are 15 or younger).
