和很多同学／朋友一样，我现在正在申请residency match。 我去了几个面试，在和一
个associate PD面试的时候，他问我:
"I think we are somewhat concerned about your clinical skills. You
graduated ____ (many) years ago. You have done some rotations, but these
are just observership, and you can't really do anything..."
我没准备过这个问题，但这时，我大脑一闪，想起来Dr. Wing's Webinar on Clinical
Rotation/OB。Dr. Wing 当时讲，即使你只是看，也可以知道很多，所以，我开始讲
"A friend who has gone through the process and is now an attending once
talked with me about this. He said that, even though you are just observing,
you can gather a lot of patient's medical information by just observing.
You walk in the room, you will see if the patient is awake/alert, skin color
, if he/she has labored breathing, if the abd is extended. By hearing the
patient talking, you can gather info about the mental, cognitive, and
language functions." (I don't think I finished talking about all these, but
I put them down in case it is helpful to everyone)
在我还在讲这些东西时，我看到associate PD频频颔首，我知道至少这个问题他很满意
我的回答。

好，在这个紧张的interview season, 我主要是想讲一个笑话让大家轻松一下，如果不
好笑还请大家见谅。这是我自己的真实故事，原创，绝无抄袭和编造。
我的第一个面试，我一个星期前刚刚买了suit和配套的men's dress shoes。我坐飞机
到达H城市，下午3点到旅馆。面试是第二天，当天6点是preinterview dinner。 我的
dress shoes放在旅行包的鞋盒里。不知什么原因，我决定把我的皮鞋拿出来。我一拎
鞋盒，觉得鞋盒很轻。打开鞋盒一看，空的！
我这才想起来我原先只是把盒子放进了旅行包，想着走时再把鞋放进去。结果，坐飞机
之前一天工作特忙，回家很晚，忙着把衣服装进包里，忘了装鞋。
这时，我觉得我的头发直接立了起来。而且，我的第一反应是：我的一个朋友就发生过
同样的事，让人难以相信的是，我也犯了同样的错误！
离preinterview dinner只有两个多小时，我在旅馆，也没有车。最后，旅馆的shuttle
带我去了附近的一个小的outdoor mall，给我20分钟时间购物。我找不到卖鞋的地方。
随便问了一家商店，他们告所我只有一家店卖mens'dress shoes,一般$300以上。我想
，三百就三百吧。找到这个店，竟然在促销，50% off！他们的选项很少，但我找到一
双很满意的鞋。原价$180，打折后$90.
这鞋只有一个问题，鞋底特别光滑。我想，不要我明天在医院里来个大趔趄。我问店员
鞋底怎么处理，他说离这里十分钟的地方有Shoe Doctor. 我说我没时间了。他说：
"Well, just walk on some rough concrete surface for an hour, and you will be
fine"
So I did! (maybe for 30 min...)
后面的故事就是dinner, sleep, interview, etc. 这是一个非常好的大医学中心。我
觉得我的表现还行，但是不知道最终如何。一位前辈／朋友对我的这个面试给了极大的
帮助，我特别感谢。总之，给我留下很好的映像。当然，教训是出发前一定要检查是否
把行头都带全了。

好，现在再讲讲我的总体想法。我和许多同学一样，从这里各位前辈的帮助中收益匪浅
。另外，我想说的是，in the end, we just need to be confident, be
professional, be mentally active/ready to engage in conversation, be
yourself (but certainly not yourself who is at home and ready to relax),
smile, and enjoy! | c*****t
发帖数: 625 | 2 can't agree more with you! double and triple check everything before you
leave...OCD is good at this point.
and thank you letter---double check grammar issues, fond, size before send
them. better draft them before hand. add personalized story/feeling to the
interviewers.
one more thing to add: reiterate whatever externship/observation previously
when you were asked--with heartfelt sincerness. reassure them that you'll be
fine given a little adjustment because I'm hard working.
I get the feeling sometimes they didn't have time to read everything even
though they have your CV and everything at hand. | r***e
