Osteopathic Orthopedic Interview Tips

[MedicalMBA]

Hello,

Interview season for osteopathic schools is almost upon us, and I was wondering if any of the current orthopedic residents had any advice. Did anyone use any specific books or resources to prep for interviews? Was there anything that surprised you during your interviews? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
