Interviews for the Residency Programs:
Once wrapping up the online work of application submission, you now just have to wait for the interview call/email nonchalantly. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for assessment by way of Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI) conducted by DRTP and short interviews conducted by TANSEEQ/MOHAP. This happens within a month of the last scheduled EMREE exam. These interviews are one of the rocky roads to go through with. They use many short independent assessments, typically in a timed circuit, to obtain an aggregate score of each candidate's soft skills and ethical knowledge. Interviewers are interested in seeing that the candidate has got what it takes to be an exemplary medical practitioner — not just the grades and know-how, but the right attitude and skills as well. They will be testing your ability to make ethical and informed decisions, as well as your critical thinking and communication skills. They will also be interested in your knowledge of current healthcare and social issues. An essential tip for MMIs is to be confident, compassionate, a good listener, and a logical professional.
Meanwhile, the applicants are also required to get their certificates (Bachelors & Internship) verified by way of obtaining Primary Source Verification (PSV). This means that by this time, you should have all your must-have (documents) ready to proceed with data flow and to get PSV in a given time.
Surprisingly, there is no guided material available for the preparation. It is said to use the ethics books, skim the past interviews, watch YouTube videos and most essentially, consult the seniors. But one should put up with the fact that the seats are finite which has undoubtedly upraised the competition. So passing the interview and getting a confirmed seat is a harder nut to crack. After interviews, the pre-qualified candidates apply for the match and after meticulous screening, the selected candidates get a confirmatory email and guess what!!
Congratulations, You're a resident now!!
This whole process takes nearly 3-4 months and the residency programs begins from the month of September- October. Some previous samples of MMIs.
