If you’re preparing to move health services and enter the PGY2 match, there is a strong chance you’ll be required to interview. The format and questioning can differ significantly from the Intern Match process, so it is worth understanding what to expect.
For many interns, this is the first time facing more in-depth, clinically, and behaviourally focused questions in a medical context. Preparation matters.
To support you, we have developed a practical six-part interview resource series, specifically for junior doctors.
It’s Interview Season (Part 1-6)
Early Career Doctor – Career Webinar Series
Webinar 4 and 5 of our Early Career Doctor Series – Interviewing Successfully for Medical Roles and Training – Part 1 and Part 2 will also focus on developing your interview skills.
Register now via our Doctor in Training Community platform to access these on-demand webinars when they drop:
Webinar 4 – Part 1: 6pm, Wednesday 20 May
Webinar 5 – Part 2: 6pm, Wednesday 27 May
