Tips for Residency Interview

1. Look interested

2. SIt up straight

3. Always have some ‘safe’ questions like ‘what do you like best about your hospital’ or ‘what unique opportunities are there here’or “How is the teaching’

4. Never tell a faculty member or interviewer if you are applying in two specialties and the program is a ‘safety’ for you. They cannot handle the ambivalence. I hear it from attendings ‘he has no direction’ . this is AMAZINGLY unfair,but unfortunately, do NOT tell them

5. come early. Leave late. Ask to come for a ‘second look’

6. Smile and make eye contact

7. NEVER NEVER NEVER criticize ANYTHING.

So, each year I get comments like ‘so you are telling applicants to LIE!!!” actually..,,, yes, withold your real feelings. Do NOT be completely honest about things you see as negatives.
If you don’t understand, you are an idiot.

Alternative Career Zone for Medical (MBBS) Students

I have personally seen Many Doctors, who have left this field after MBBS, some did this in Frustration and some were in hurry for a Good Job and Good Money. In Pakistan, many MBBS doctors take the exam of CSS (Competitive Exam - Civil Superior Services) after completing MBBS, and join Civil Services. Its a Federal Government Job of BPS Grade 17, Early promotion chances are good in this job and pay scale usually starts form 25 to 30,000. After MBBS u can do MBA also to join Pharmaceutical Companies, if you are smart enough you can join these Drug Companies without doing MBA. The Pay Scale in these companies start from 20 to 30,000 and goes up with the experience. There are many MBBS doctors who dont want to interact with the patients, but they want to work in hospitals, they can do MBA in Hospital Administration, and can join Hospitals with Great Pay. Another option is Certification/Diploma in Clinical Research after MBBS, and join Clinical Research Institutes. You can join Army as a Captain after clearing their Exams. Other than CSS, there are other competitive exams also like PCS, Commission Exam for Lecturer Ship. Biotechnology and Bio-Informatics are two other options after MBBS. There must be lot other options also, but i am not familiar with them yet ......

Summarizing:

• CSS


• MBA (Pharmaceuticals)


• MBA (Hospital Administration)


• CLINICAL RESEARCH
  


• ARMY


• PCS


• LECTURER SHIP


• BIO-TECHNOLOGY


• BIO-INFORMATICS
