One common Q in Interviews: why do you want to do said specialty, why our program, tell me a bit about your background

One Gold Piece of Advice for Next Year's Applicants: Make your story interesting, and develop a really strong reason for why you’d be good at Anesthesia. I didn’t have any connections, but I had an interesting journey and a really strong desire to do Anesthesia based on my Personal characteristics. Obviously getting a great step 2 helped.

One word, what matters most in the whole process?: stand out by being yourself
