MSPE Releases Today

Just a reminder that the ERAS Medical School Performance Evaluation (MSPE) release is scheduled for today – October 1st – instead of November 1st, as in years past. Likely this will lead to earlier interview invitations at many residency programs.

If you are interested in mock interview assistance, please consider contacting me early, so you are not caught with a surprisingly early interview without professionally-guided practice.

Scheduling Mock Interviews

For those of you interested in Mock Interviews, please contact me the day you receive your first invitation. I still have some availabilities in September but am already scheduling into October. I have opened up weekend and late evening sessions to accommodate everyone as best as I can.

I conduct all of my own Mock Interviews. I thoroughly review your background information before the session and provide an individualized feedback document after. Live face-to-face video is an option you can add to your sessions.
