This year’s Student and Resident Interview Workshop took place at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. The workshop was coordinated by Director at Large, Dr. Karen Berger. This workshop is a chance to meet and work with university faculty, residency preceptors, and residency program directors. This is a great opportunity to hear how the interviewing process is on their side of table and for them to offer advice to interviewees.
The evening began by interviewing in mock sessions within small groups, then progressed into an open question and answering forum.
