And then most of them are going to deal with overcoming challenges, either interpersonal challenges or challenges involving organization, a lot of urgent things or challenges with maybe many times in surgical residencies, there's a hierarchy. How do you escalate something in an appropriate way? So think about those questions.
Think about experiences during your clinical experiences or during any prior careers you've had. How did you navigate that? A lot of common things are, you know, talking to people, communicating, expressing your concerns, going through normal channels, figuring out how you're going to develop a structure and how to prioritize things that are urgent.
You could just talk through your thought process and how you would try to do this as diplomatically and as... kind of logically as possible. You know, you don't have to just pop in an answer. This is what I would do, but talk through your thought process and reflect on your prior experiences. You could even flip the question on its head.
Actually, what you're asking about reminds me of a time and then talk about something you're comfortable with and how it relates to that. So you're in control of the question. So I think remember that and reflect on your prior experiences and see how they come to play in those
Yeah, well said. I have nothing to add to that. I've seen people develop very fancy spreadsheets, Excel files with all of these parameters. But in the end, it's your gut and your feeling about where you want to train. And as Lindsay said, the support that you'll have along the way.
Understand what your why is and what makes you happy and why you're doing this and where you're going to thrive and where you're going to get to your fullest potential. Because there's many ways to get there. There's many wonderful training programs. It's where you're going to do well.
Yeah, I think so. The Society of Academic Urology has some clear rules about post-interview communication. The program really can't initiate any of that communication after the interview. You could send a thank you note. That's courteous. That's nice. I always tell my advisees that really, that's a lot of work. It's a lot of work.
For a given program, you may be interviewing like five or six different interviews with multiple people in a room. I don't really think it's expected and it's very time consuming. So I wouldn't worry too much about that.
If there's something personal that, you know, a personal connection you had with somebody certainly can do that, but it's definitely not expected and then people shouldn't feel like they have that responsibility. And so, yeah, officially the program can't really initiate a lot of the contact after the interviews are over.
Students will, close to the time of after they've submitted their rank list, they can reach out to programs to say, you're my top choice or something like that. But the program really shouldn't really respond to those types of outreach, at least according to the rules of the match. I don't know if anybody else wants to roll in on that.
Yeah, I would encourage potential applicants applying this year to go to the Society of Academic Urology website and just read through, familiarize yourself with all of the rules. This is just one of them, but understand some of the rules that apply to the match this year. As Yash mentioned, there were some changes. There's a lot of great information there and it's great to kind of
have those ground rules in place as you go through the process and clearly read through them. It's a great resource and the website has just been updated so I highly encourage. There's actually a section for students and some facts and commonly asked questions and it's a valuable resource.
Yeah, I agree. I think the best interviews, as we were saying earlier, are conversational. So realize that these are urologists taking time out of their day to chat with you. They're not professional interviewers. So they may say, well, what questions do you have for me? Be curious about that person. Ask them questions about their life, their training, what they like about that program.
Don't let that opportunity go by. You're going to be asked, what questions do you have for me? Always have some good questions in your pocket. And don't be afraid to ask about that person because people like it should be bi-directional. So be prepared for that and be curious.
