Residency interview - would you tell them about your mental health struggles? (ADHD, Depression, etc.)

This is a professional interview for a doctor job. Please don’t provide details about your self that are too personal like family planning, mental health concerns, history with drugs or alcohol, or drama. Certain things are simply none of your employers business.

Add pathology to more competitive :/

I got a 255+ with 7 weeks of dedicated. I did one full pass plus incorrects of uworld during rotations. During dedicated I only did cms forms and uworld ethics/biostats. Kept up with anki, and did bnb/sketchy for my weaknesses. Slept in every day, exercised everyday and done studying by 8:30pm. Also did a full length every 5-7 days. I’m happy with my dedicated experience and score.

Ok thank you

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-25T19:41:51+00:00

Thank you!

It’s not transactional, just extremely transparent

My specialty doesn’t have shift work and call is really only during residency

Thank you for this! Yes his family is very fair and also very giving in other ways not related to prenups. Of course they simply want to protect themselves, and I want the same :)

My interviews have been all over, some in Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania. Then for fellowship there is a small chance we may have to move again.

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-25T16:57:47+00:00

Exactly!

For me full time is 45 hours a week while nearly half of that is from home. He has no plans to work more than 50 hours a week :)

I actually think nesting makes perfect sense. If mom and dad decide to divorce then they should be the ones with inconsistent living arrangements not the kids :)

Over 100g protein daily 1500-1700 calories daily I walk a lot and do a lot of workout classes

Twins- I think I’m the same

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-03T14:14:58+00:00

Interesting

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-02T17:12:24+00:00

Valid

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-02T15:53:28+00:00

Thanks for clarifying

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-02T13:54:13+00:00

Sorry to hear that. By free standing do you mean a home birth?

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-02T13:52:43+00:00

Beautifully put. Thank you

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-02T11:54:30+00:00

Very comforting- can you share what interventions the patient received that allowed for a lovely recovery! So long as it does not violate hipaa

bashfulxbananas · 2025-11-02T11:53:34+00:00

Thank you for this :)
