How To Nail Your Radiology Residency Interview

By Brian Harris


Nailing that radiology residency interview does not have to require an IQ of a genius like Albert Einstein. However, it takes confidence and presence of mind to be sure you are in the right track and does not veer off to a different route. The challenge will be apparent but you have to stay focused and let go of your fears and qualms. It is, therefore, necessary to train yourself on how to do this right with the right people who themselves passed the interview with no sweat.

Training is a fundamental aspect. But for you to be trained by an expert of how to answer radiology residency questions effectively is another story. You want to succeed of course, and you are determined to do that. If you simply go by the book, that can be good. But, if there is a need for you to know the actual procedures and absorb the process deeply, you should find people with profound experience and expertise so you can be properly guided.

Even a straight-A student needs professional advice. Great school records are not always the barometer of good employment. Employers look into actual knowledge and skills of the candidates and decide if they are worth hiring. And similar thing is true with a residency program.

That said, you need to seek a review center with topnotch service and excellent training quality. Do not risk going for substandard institution for the sake of saving money and the belief that you can nail your interview without being closely guided. A reputable learning ground should be able to help you get a good spot for your residency program.

To begin with, you may ask a former teacher from the medical school you attend to for some referrals. He, above all people, knows the right review center his students must go to. But in case your teacher know nowhere, you can always ask help from you school guidance office as well.

Gather at least three names of potential review centers. Whether you know anyone that has used this service before or not, it is crucial that you ask existing students about their personal feedback on the institutes. Nobody else can affirm the reputation of an institute but those who experienced attending.

Ask if you can sit-in classes. To know better know their coaching style, it is a good idea to attend a class or two to observe their teaching strategies. But before you do so, you need to ask permission from the people in authority.

Verify the length of each course and the topics to be explored. Some training programs come in varied packages upon which certain degrees of relative programs are included. You should know their coverage as this will also affect the price. More comprehensive trainings are expected to be costlier.

Time and location are important. Your availability must be similar to theirs as the coaches cannot easily adjust with the time of the students unless they are taking an individual tutorial session. Also, it is a silly idea to travel far just to learn the right interview strategies. And if that is so, take the online program instead.
