Preparation Meets Opportunity
Your residency interview is one of the most influential moments of your medical career. Even the strongest application can falter without polished, confident interview performance. At MedSchoolCoach, our physician-led team prepares you to showcase your strengths, communicate with clarity, and stand out in the eyes of program directors.

Why Residency Interview Prep Matters
-
Gain a Competitive EdgeSecuring a residency spot has never been more competitive. Strong grades and board scores open the door, but it’s your interview that determines whether you step through it. With MedSchoolCoach, you’ll gain physician-led coaching that helps you distinguish yourself, communicate with confidence, and leave a lasting impression on program directors.
Highlight Your Unique Value
- Every applicant has strong credentials. We help you articulate what makes you stand out — from clinical experiences to personal motivations — so programs remember you after interview day.
- Whether you’re facing traditional questions or navigating Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs), our physician advisors provide proven strategies and mock practice tailored to each format.
- Through personalized feedback and rehearsal, you’ll learn how to answer with clarity and poise, even in high-pressure scenarios — a skill that translates beyond the interview into your medical career.
-
Less Anxiety, More ConfidenceEven the most accomplished applicants can feel overwhelmed when facing residency interviews. Anxiety can cloud your responses and diminish your presence, but preparation turns nerves into confidence. MedSchoolCoach gives you the tools, practice, and expert support you need to walk into your interviews composed, focused, and ready to succeed.
Transform Nerves into Strength
- Our advisors help you reframe anxiety as energy you can channel into clear, confident communication, so you present your best self on interview day.
- By simulating the real interview experience with physician advisors, you’ll practice high-yield questions, refine your delivery, and receive tailored feedback designed to build confidence.
- We don’t just prepare you for questions. We prepare you mentally. With strategies to stay calm under pressure, you’ll approach your residency interviews with poise and assurance.
-
Feedback to Meet ExpectationsResidency program directors look for specific qualities: clarity of communication, professionalism, and evidence that you’ll thrive in their program. Generic feedback won’t get you there. MedSchoolCoach advisors bring insider expertise to ensure your answers resonate with what committees truly value.
Guidance from Physician Advisors
- Our coaches have served on admissions and residency committees, so they know what resonates and what raises red flags.
- Every mock interview comes with precise, constructive feedback that helps you refine content, tone, and delivery to align with program standards.
- We focus on what matters most to committees: your ability to communicate competence, compassion, and fit which ensures your presence lingers long after the interview ends.
HOW IT WORKS
-
I had an amazing experience with MedSchoolCoach. Coming off a failed application cycle, I felt very lost and confused about how to navigate another one. Then, I met Dr. Nelson, and my outlook completely changed. He has single-handedly been one of the best mentors I have ever met. Always going above and beyond, inspiring me along the way, and genuinely wanting to see me achieve my dream. I know for a fact that my journey into medical school wouldn't be the same without him. I can't recommend him enough!
Zach: "I met Dr. Nelson and my outlook completely changed." -
MedSchoolCoach was amazing. Everyone at the company is very helpful and wants to see their clients succeed. My personal advisor was very responsive and helped me in every stage of the process. I truly feel that if I had not used MedSchoolCoach, I would not have gotten into my top choice for medical school. I sent out 12 secondaries, interviewed at 5 schools, and was accepted to 4 and waitlisted at the other.
Madi: "Interviewed at 5 schools, and was accepted to 4." -
“Dr. Lee is extremely nice and down to earth. She guided my son very patiently for almost 2 years and helped him get into BS/MD program. My son has a full ride for undergrad. This entire process was daunting. But Dr. Lee and Rob Rivas helped us through the extremely stressful application and interview process. We couldn't have done this without their help and guidance. We feel blessed to have found Dr. Lee and MedSchoolCoach. Thanks for everything!"
SA: "My son has a full ride..." -
“I honestly cannot speak highly enough about the experience of working with Michelle, Susan, Darlene, and Ken. Every one of them is extremely knowledgeable, warm, supportive, and excellent at their jobs. Without their guidance and support, I do not know if I would be sitting here writing a review about both of my children achieving their lifelong dreams of going to medical school. I know what a daunting process applying to medical school is, and having a team behind you like MedSchoolCoach can really make the difference between receiving acceptance letters versus denials. If you have a child applying to medical school, I cannot recommend a better service.”
CU: "Extremely knowledgeable, warm, supportive and excellent at their jobs." -
“Dr. Kachiu Lee and Rob Rivas helped me tremendously throughout the college admissions process. From brainstorming my personal statement to refining my supplementals, both Dr. Lee and Rob consistently provided thorough feedback in a short amount of time, ensuring my responses articulated my ideas in the best manner possible. Additionally, Dr. Lee was invaluable in prepping for my BS/MD interviews, giving great feedback on how to optimize my responses while also providing practice through several mock interviews. Overall, I would highly recommend both Dr. Kachiu Lee and Rob Rivas as advisors, especially if you are applying to college and are interested in BS/MD programs.”
David: "Invaluable in prepping for my BS/MD interviews." -
"Dr. Mandalia provided a plethora of good ideas to work into my responses that will help me strengthen my overall narrative and presentation. He noted my strengths and weaknesses and gave me many different ways to address my weaknesses. He is clearly incredibly knowledgeable about what interview committees look for and was able to elaborate on these points in great detail."
Conor O'Dowd: "Incredibly knowledgable [sic] about what interview committees look for." -
“The first time I took the MCAT without any preparation, I did not achieve the score I wanted to reach. When I found the resources available by the instructors in MedSchoolCoach, I was able to boost my score from a 500 to 527 in my most recent practice test in just 3 months! I am thrilled with this score, and beyond grateful for MedSchoolCoach <3”
Sabrina Sarwar: "From a 500 to 527 in my most recent practice test." -
I used their services to help me pass the basic science comprehensive exam and now for step 1 prep. I will most definitely continue to use their services for step 2 prep as well.
My tutor, Alexander Merriman, is out of this world! He can get in my head and really help me get to the route of my learning gaps. Alex can and will explain things to me a million ways to guarantee that I understand the concepts and will never get it wrong again. Not only has he helped me with knowledge onboarding and strategies for answering questions but also has helped me gain confidence and get out of any bad habits I built before starting on this journey with MedSchoolCoach.
Christina Tartaglia: "I will most definitely continue to use their services." -
I used MedSchool Coach to help me study for the USMLE Step 1 exam and was so thankful for their help! I highly recommend Abdul was a tutor! I was really nervous about the exam and really at a loss about how to the study before working with him. He provided a personalized approach and we systematically tackled all of my areas of weakness before the exam. After our sessions, I walked into test day feeling infinitely more confident than I would have been without his help!
Emma L: "walked into test day feeling infinitely more confident."
