Residency & Fellowship Interview Coaching
My clients gave me their trust, and these are the reasons why they chose my program.
You do not need every answer memorized
Residency and fellowship interviews are about more than the experiences listed on your CV. Interviewers want to understand how you think, what you are looking for in training, what you would bring to the program, and whether you would be a positive addition to the team.
I help you prepare a clear, adaptable message so you can respond thoughtfully when the conversation goes somewhere unexpected.
Support at different stages
I work with medical graduates preparing for U.S. residency and fellowship interviews, including IMGs, AMGs, repeat applicants, and candidates navigating more complex application histories.
You may be preparing for your first interview season, trying to make sense of an outcome, returning to the Match process, making difficult decisions, or unsure how to express an important part of your story. Wherever you are, our work begins with what you need most.
A process built around your story
We begin with the material you already have: your CV, application, experiences, concerns, and goals. Together, we identify what is true and important about your professional story—and the message you want interviewers to understand about you.
The goal is not to guess what a program wants to hear or create a version of yourself that feels artificial. It is to communicate your most genuine self, and show why there is a meaningful fit between what you bring and what you are looking for in the next stage of your training.
Strategy, practice, and feedback
Our work combines interview strategy, practice, and direct feedback. We explore how your answers may be heard by interviewers with different perspectives and priorities, strengthen areas that need more context, and prepare for common, difficult, and unexpected questions.

Choose the level of support you need
Some applicants want a focused mock interview and direct feedback. Others want support building their message from the ground up, practicing over several sessions, or navigating the interview season with more consistent guidance.
Coaching options are designed to meet you where you are. I know that the residency and fellowship process is already expensive, especially for applicants early in their careers. I aim to offer different ways to engage with this work—from practical self-guided resources to individualized coaching.

My clients gave me their trust, and this is what they say about my program.
Andrea helped me a lot throughout the ERAS season. As a non-native English speaker, she helped me identify the key points of my story that would be most interesting to highlight, understand how my answers might come across to interviewers, and learn how to communicate my experiences more effectively. More than simply teaching English or correcting vocabulary, Andrea helps you look at your own story from a different perspective and identify what is most important to show. I had a lot of fun learning from her, especially while her cat occasionally stole the spotlight during our sessions! Haha.
I worked with Andrea while preparing for my residency interviews, and her coaching was super helpful. I honestly felt that I had good answers and experiences to talk about, but she helped me take those answers to another level. She helped me refine my wording and delivery, restructure my answers, and sometimes change the order in which I presented things so that my responses were more impactful and engaging. That way, I could feel more confident with my answers and present myself in a way that would better capture the interviewers’ attention while still feeling authentic to me. On a personal level, she is also so nice to talk to, I miss our meetings! I’m very grateful for her help during such an important part of my Match process.
