How to prepare

A traditional interview is a conversation about your background, your motivation for medicine and your experiences. For questions that start with “tell me about a time,” the AAMC recommends the STAR method: the situation, the task, the action you took and the result, with one situation per answer.5

For a virtual interview, the AAMC recommends a computer or tablet over a phone, with the camera at eye level.6
