In this video, we'll discuss how to answer the “Tell me about yourself” question that’s a staple of medical residency interviews.

If you’re watching this video, you’ve had success with the challenging medical school admissions process, crushed the USMLE and even done some rotations.

Now that you’ve submitted your ERAS application, there’s one more box to check before you become a resident doctor: nailing your residency interviews.

Clearing those other hurdles will undoubtedly have equipped you with valuable training in how to handle the stressful and uncertain Match process. However, residency interviews are notoriously unpredictable, which can make preparing for them a challenge.

Luckily, there are some standard questions that will show up again and again in residency interviews, like “Tell me about yourself.” By preparing an excellent answer in advance, you can set yourself up for match success.
