What to expect in interviews?

[castafari]

I only have 2 interviews for anesthesia residency so I really don't want to screw them up. Any tips on what I can expect so as to make a really good impression? Thank you for any help!

Hopefully you only have 2 interviews because you haven't heard back from a bunch of places, and not because you only applied to 2 programs. If so, you should be fine, as I imagine there are still quite a few offers left on the table. It's only mid-October, after all.

As for interview tips, I would say that if you are polite yet friendly, confident yet humble, honest yet prudent, and funny yet tasteful, then be yourself. Otherwise, try to be that person.

Bring a bite block and some lube and you'll be fine. HAHA-just be yourself and don't overanalyze anything....
