What Goes Around Comes Around

After two weeks of conducting medical school admissions interviews, I will be sitting on the other side of the desk tomorrow.  It's my first residency interview!  From the applicants I have interviewed thus far, I have learned a tremendous amount about body language, humility, and poise, and I'm looking forward (albeit a little bit anxiously) to tomorrow's opportunity to practice what I preach.  I hope this experience will make me an empathetic interviewer and also give me the opportunity to self-assess my own strengths and weaknesses as an interviewee so that I can regroup for my next interviews in October.  Updates to come.
