Interviewing Skills for Job-Seeking Physicians

The New England Journal of Medicine has published an article written by Dr. Robert Kuramoto on interviewing skills for physicians, how to prepare yourself before the interview, ace the interview, and on follow-up after the interview.

Dr. Kuramoto elaborates on each point, but here is a summary of how to prepare yourself for an interview:

-Research the Practice or Hospital
-Be Ready to Discuss Your Professional Goals and Personal Interests
-Be Ready to Sell Yourself
-Act Like This Is the Only Interview That Matters
-Prepare a Comprehensive List of Questions
-Speak Positively about Your Experiences and Don’t Disparage Former Employers
-Review Your Travel Itinerary to Ensure Punctuality
-Dress Professionally
-Bring Your Spouse, if Invited
-Don’t Avoid the Subject of Money, But Don’t Dwell on it Either
-Schedule Strategically
-Send a Thank You Note after the Interview

Your recruiter can help with a lot of these points to make you excited and prepared for your interview and to impress the facility or group you are meeting with.
