m********k 发帖数: 69 | 1 1。 经济条件允许,尽可能多申请: 申请多少个specialty根据自己的情况决定,通常
都会申请一个以上, 不同specialty尽量准备不同的package;申请要尽早, 尤其是IM;
2。 申请材料的准备;
LOR: 非常重要,至少3封,最好有2封来自美国医生,相关specialty,推荐信里的
内容具体一些较好, 不能有任何negative comment,来自program director,
chairman, 了解自己的人 的信 更strong
USMLE score:重要
OB/externship:尽量做,但也有match上的人没有做过OB
Publication:非academic program不重要
PS: less important than LOR, 第一段写好,不要有语法错误,
Know who makes decision
3。 Phone interview: 初筛过程,不轻易接,收到留言,做好homework后再回电话
4。 怎样拿更多的IV
尽量找到internal connection,给 PD or PC 打招呼
通过推荐人拿IV
Directly contact PD, famous faculty:email, mail(用FedEx, UPS等需要收件
人签名的邮件, 确保不会被忽略); 内容: cover letter 写出每个优点,附CV(简洁
, 有针对性); 发信时间: program iv invitation已经发出的时候、12-1月(有空
闲的slot)
5。 Dress: Don’t put dress in luggage, carry it with you; Be aware
iron; Make up: simple, no perfume
6。 怎样在IV发挥更出色:
Before IV:
Know yourself well: CV, PS, explanation for gap, low score, research,
hobbies in PS
Know program and interviewers: website, ask resident during dinner or lunch
(pre iv dinner, tips), internal connections
what to bring w/ you : Copy of CV, PS, USMLE transcript/ECFMG certificate,
Green card /EAD
During IV:
Reasonable conversation :说话速度慢一些, 让别人听清楚, 没听懂多问一遍
,回答问题简练切题
Be energetic
Good personality, smile; Offer help
主动和周围的人交谈:introduce yourself,answer all the questions
positively
Engage in the conversation: listen carefully, 注意面试人的反映, 对方
感兴趣的多谈, 发现对方不感兴趣, 尽快转换话题, 通过以前的homework, 或观察
周围的事物,寻找interviewer感兴趣的内容
每个问题准备两个版本的答案:Brief, detailed
Show Interested in their program, Don't be too eager
After interview:
Ask the contact information of PD and all the interviewers
send thank-you notes: 给所有人写, 刚面试回来,节日, match day前几周.
email/mail /postcard 均可, 写IV学到的东西,program有特点的东西,和
interviewer有chemistry的话题
