Got an interview coming up? Whether it's for a residency, fellowship, or future job, don't let the nerves haunt you! We've got the tricks to keep you from being spooked and help you ace it: 

1. Know Your "Why" – No ghosting here! Be clear on why this position excites you and how it aligns with your career goals.  

2. Prepare for Clinical Questions – Don't be caught off guard by case-based or clinical questions. Review recent guidelines and cases relevant to the program's focus. 

3. Show Your True Self – Programs want someone who'll fit in. Don't hide behind a mask; let them see the real you! 

4. Ask Insightful Questions – Learn about the program's culture, teaching style, and expectations. This shows you're invested in finding the right fit for your future. Pro-tip, don't ask trick or treat... 

5. Practice Behavioral Scenarios – Be ready for questions on teamwork and leadership. Recall past experiences where you've shown adaptability and bring those tales to life. 

6. Dress Confidently – Your outfit is like your armor; it should be professional yet comfortable. Let your confidence be your costume. 

7. Stay Calm & Collected – Interviews can feel scary but remember to breathe and take your time. You've got this!
