Mock Interview Program
The Icahn School of Medicine offers a Mock Interview program. This program pairs you with a faculty member in the same or similar, specialty you're applying into in July for the Pathway to Residency Program and October for the regular interview season. Students will receive a sign up sheet with possible interviewers and their availability. Students should not sign up for an interview with anyone they have a conflict of interest with.
Once paired with a faculty member, you will be asked to send them a calendar invitation, a draft of your personal statement and CV to help them prepare for your interview. This is also a good way to get unbiased feedback on your application materials!
You should come dressed to your mock interview like you would any other interview. The interviewer will have a rubric to help provide you constructive feedback. If the interviewer feels you may need additional practice, they will recommend it to you at the end of your session and on the feedback form and the Office of Student Affairs will get in touch regarding a second interview.

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)’s Careers in Medicine Residency Preference Exercise helps you assess your desired characteristics for a residency program, including educational opportunities, clinical experiences, coworkers, and work environment.
This exercise will help you decide which programs you would like to apply to and rank. It involves rating your preferences for a residency training program and rating programs based on how well you believe they agree with your preferences.
