How to Win an Interview at ASHP Midyear Preparation is Everything

Research programs thoroughly before arriving.
Understand each program's unique features and align them with your career goals.
Prepare a succinct, engaging "elevator pitch" to introduce yourself to program representatives, but stop talking an listen after

Polished Materials

Ensure your CV is tailored, error-free, and professional.
Bring plenty of printed copies and have a digital version ready to share (you probably won't use them, but it's good to be prepared with what you have done)

Networking Like a Pro

Attend showcase events and take the initiative to introduce yourself to preceptors and residents, but focus on residents!
Engage in meaningful conversations, showing genuine interest in the program.
Follow up promptly with thank-you emails to reinforce your impression if you met someone and know their name and have something more you want to know

Acing the Interview

Practice common and behavioral interview questions, highlighting your clinical experiences and problem-solving skills.
Be ready to discuss specific cases, rotations, and how they prepared you for a residency.
Ask insightful questions to demonstrate your interest and commitment to the program.

Managing Stress and Staying Confident

Keep a positive mindset throughout the conference.
Plan breaks to avoid burnout and maintain your energy.
Stay organized with a schedule of key events and prioritized program visits.

Building Long-term Relationships

Use Midyear as a networking opportunity beyond just the residency showcase.
