In this episode, Dr. Samir Desai continues his conversation with Dhruv Gupta, a fourth-year medical student who just received some good news. He got into Psychiatry!
Part 2 will provide an in-depth look at letters of recommendation and the residency interview. Although some of the information is directed towards psychiatry residency applicants, all residency applicants will find this information incredibly useful.
Dhruv will show us how he partnered with his attendings to have strong letters of recommendation written on his behalf.
He will also share with us some of the challenges that he experienced scheduling residency interviews.
Considerable time is devoted to discussing the questions Dhruv encountered during his interviews, including those he found particularly difficult.
How did Dhruv rebound to answer the question "What are your three weaknesses" when he only had two weaknesses prepared to share? How did he rise to the occasion when an interviewer asked him to role play through different psychiatry scenarios? These are just a few of the questions that Dhruv and Dr. Desai will discuss.
If you haven't heard Part 1 of this conversation with Dhruv, please do take the time to listen to that episode. You'll learn how Dhruv developed an interest in psychiatry, how he confirmed his interest during his core clerkship, and how he strengthened his candidacy for a residency position. You'll also discover tips to excel during away rotations in the specialty.
The information Dhruv shares will help you plan your own strategy for a successful match in psychiatry.
