I think the in-person really benefits the applicant themselves because they actually get to walk the halls of the hospital. They get to sleep in the city. They get to see other applicants in person. And so I think the benefits of the in-person option are really mostly for the applicant and people should feel like they can definitely choose the virtual option if that one works better for them.

Yeah, I really agree with Gina. And I think it's really, for me, the interview is really about allowing applicants the chance to understand the culture, because that's something that you may not be able to experience or understand on paper or online or from going to an open house.

You're getting a chance to talk to people, see how people interact with each other, see how people interact with residents. And this gives you a real sense of the culture because there's fantastic training programs across the country. And so you're going to go somewhere and you're going to get great training. The question is, is it the training you want?

Is it the training that fits where you want to be in the future? Is it a program that's going to support your goals for the future? And similarly, as Gina said, are you going to be a fit for what they're looking for? So I think it's really important in terms of understanding the culture. The other thing I would say is Gina's right. We already know that everyone we're interviewing is qualified.

And so the interview is not understanding what they've accomplished. It's more about understanding how they got there. So what was their path? What did they overcome? What drove them to do all the things that are listed in their application? So for me, in an interview, I'm really trying to understand what's motivating and driving somebody because I already know what's on paper.

I know what they've done already, and I want to understand the why behind it.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think there's so many questions during interview season that you can anticipate. So why not prepare for those? Everyone's going to want to understand why urology, right? Like, why are you dedicating five or six years and the rest of your career to this field? So you want to have a good answer for that. And I think really you want to be able to tell your story.

Your application is a list of accomplishments, but we want to, as I kind of mentioned before, I think we want to hear the story of how you got here, why you got here, why was it unexpected or inevitable? What was your path to getting here? And then, you know, where you want to go. So you want to have in your mind what that story is and how it makes sense.
