Welcome! Medical school applicants are starting their interview cycle, and not all of them have the support of pre-med advising. We're hoping to recruit medical school volunteers who have gone through the process to host virtual mock med school interviews ~
HOW IT WORKS: Sign up on this form, we will pair you with a student and you are ready to go! (All you need is as little as 30 minutes you are willing to volunteer!)
Once you send in your availability, we’ll match you with a premed applicant and put you in touch - you can take it from there! Mock interviews will be held in 30 minute slots (or more if you want to); you decide how to run things - a series of practice questions with cumulative feedback at the end or do one question at a time. Applicants will send you their resume/CV/med school statements so you can make sure they’re presenting themselves in the best light, some applicants may choose to do a “dress rehearsal” with their outfit and proper background/lighting and some might do a dry run. They’ll tell you what they want feedback on but this is really just a chance to help folks polish up and feel confident going into their virtual interviews!
Please only put down times that you know for sure you can do, definitely don’t want to disappoint any applicants <3
WHY SIGN UP?
If you’re applying to residency this fall, this is also great virtual interview practice for you! But more than anything, this is an easy, “high-yield” way that we can use our experience to reassure folks during a stressful time, and I think it will be fun. These are volunteer services but we’ll encourage applicants to donate to a good cause of your choice :)
HOW DO I SIGN UP?
Fill out this form and we’ll get back to you soon! Happy to answer any questions you might have!
