Has anyone heard from the Baltimore VA's PTSD track?
Haha! I know the feeling well....waiting on a site in San Francisco. Get a call from SAN FRANCISCO! Like what are the odds....of all cities in the country. Turns out is was Amnesty International calling for money? Here's to hoping your Berkeley call is more legit!!
This week has been so much quieter than I was anticipating.

Agreed. Thankfully, I'm seeing the insane amount of time and work put in on the receiving end, which has kind of helped with understanding that the process is time-consuming for the people reviewing.

Do you mean the MIRECC research postdoc at South Central? From the universal search it looks like the "Central AR VA" only has an SMI track.Oops sorry, it’s the PTSD track!

How bad would it look to accept an interview, go on another interview and realize the first site was not the direction you wanted to go after all....and then ask to not interview and be taken out of consideration?

It does thanks! I am anxiously awaiting the MIRECC newsIt’s the PTSD Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System. (In North Little Rock, AR, if that helps). They have two tracks, one for PSR/SMI and the other for PTSD.

I feel you. I bought a big ass sandwich for lunch, scarfed half down (usually enough) and thought...let’s eat the other half. Bad idea. Then I came home and had like meat, cheese danish, dosa chips, and cheese crisps. all while staring at my phone willing it to ping.Another day not hearing from any sites, another 56 peanut butter cups I've consumed

Hi everyone! How do you all anticipate postdoc interview questions? Similar/Different from the internship interviews?

Thank you!If you type “VA Interview Questions” into Google, they have their official site with all questions open to the public. I’d check that out.

This is for adult, non-neuro. It felt very similar to internship questions but the whole process was a bit more laid back (sample size of 1 so far....so grain of salt). I prepared using a master list of interview questions I had from last year and that seemed to work well.
Most interviewers asked me why I applied to their site, what makes me a good fit, etc. I was asked by 2-3 different faculty to discuss a challenge I’ve experienced and how I managed it...and I got a couple questions about specific cases. In one of my invites I was told to prepare a case discussion for ~30 mins in a group interview type format. I assume if they want you to do something like that they will give you some warning so you can prep.
Edit: also, there was ample time for me to ask my own questions, more so than during internship interviews. Definitely have plenty of questions ready.

Thanks again for managing this beast!!! You da best!edit: snuck in an update this morning!
Hi everyone! It's been such a busy week of updates!! I'm planning to update the list again as soon as I can, which unfortunately might not be until Saturday (I have a phone interview during my lunch break tomorrow and my commute Friday evenings is about 3 hours).
The waiting game continues............

I am assuming what you found relates to jobs. Internship and postdoc questions are a little different. Nonetheless, those questions are probably great prep, from my VA trainee interview experience.
Thank you so much!!! I'm all caught up and ready for what I believe will be a very busy week on the thread! Or at least it better be - I'm waiting on several sites now and the due dates passed last week!Thanks again for managing this beast!!! You da best!
