EM Match Advice 39: Mailbag Q&A as a Mid-Interview Season Check-in

Academic Life in Emergency Medicine

Dr. Sara Krzyzaniak (Host and Stanford University PD) and Dr. Michelle Lin (ALiEM Founder/UCSF) are joined by the always-wise Dr. Matt Pirotte (Vanderbilt University PD) to answer questions that YOU, the students, submitted to us regarding interview season. We tackle questions involving the nuances around:

• Preference signaling
• Writing letters or emails of interest
• Meaningfully connecting with busy program directors

Also we answer the perennial question of "Really, how important IS the interview in my overall application?"
