If you are a medical student or contemplating on a career in medicine, you must find this blog: Rumors Were True. The author of the blog -"topher" - has many first-hand interesting stories about life as a medical student.




In his latest blog entry, Topher recommends a book for preparing on the most important interview in a medical student's life: getting into a residency.

There is a chapter called "The Questions - The Answers" that lists over 300 questions that people have been asked in residency interviews, what these questions are trying to discover about the interviewee, and strategies for handling them.

I sat down and typed out every single question, printed them out, and then spent the next week forming my best answers. He will teach you how to stand, how to sit, and how to pack your suitcase so that things do not wrinkle.

What to wear, what never to say, and what to do before during and after the interview are all topics that are covered very well in this book. If you walk into this interview without a resource like this, you are making a mistake.

Read it all at Rumors Were True.
