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.⁴

For a virtual interview, the AAMC recommends a computer or tablet over a phone, with the camera at eye level.⁵

Expect to be asked why Tulane University. Its mission is a good place to start: “To improve human health and foster healthy communities by discovering and translating the best science into clinical practice and education, delivering the highest quality patient care, and preparing the next generation of distinguished clinical and scientific leaders.”⁶ Connect it to something specific you’ve done.
