The Interviewing Process Crusade could be an expensive, dreadful and lengthy one and how much much or not you do get to have will depend on how well you have planned for it. Do the Research, Investigate, Network, and Inquire colleagues, friends, and use specific available resources on what it will take to decrease the physical, emotional, and personal burden of this cycle, which, in the long run, becomes an investment on yourself and your professional future.  The price tag will vary, but I would say, based on my research, it will be close to $4000 USD for the average applicant, not considering the special circumstances that will apply to FMG (Living overseas in need to travel into the USA). So, please be mindful of considering the most up to date exchange rate for your country’s of origin currency, and the amount of money needed to expend to travel long international distances to interview in America.  The Interview process for 2020 is around the corner, and I think the timeliness of this episode is crucial in giving you tips of advice for those that will be lucky enough to get a residency interview appointment. Specifically for 2020, we don’t know if any program will be doing face to face interviews, but we all know that some of them will be doing virtual online interactions, that could modify the cost of the investment for the current year due to COVID19.  Despite the fact that 2020 has been an exceptional year for all of us, I think, that if we ever get back to the “normal” reality, this episode will apply well to all of us, considering to get on the road and travel in between several residency program sites with the purpose of finding the residency in the specialty of your Dream.  Please listen carefully, because not all of the circumstances that we discuss apply to all of us, so make modifications and adapt as needed. The website www.SmartMedTravel.com is a useful one for those interested in discovering it the benefits that it has to offer (No financial relationship with them!) – So, feel free to explore and research well before you embark on this path. “An Investment in knowledge always pays the best interest”!
