Episode 018 - OMED recap and Interviewing Pearls!

Fresh off of an exciting and inspiring trip to Boston, Mass for the annual Fall OMED Conference and ACOP Fall CME, Jason and Scott sit down in the booth to discuss highlights from their weekends. They are joined this month by special guest Dr. Tyree Winters, DO. Dr. Winters currently serves as the Secretary/Treasurer of the ACOP and is the Pediatric Residency program director at Goryeb Children’s Hospital in Morristown, New Jersey. You may also know him from his healthy lifestyle alter ego “Hip Hop with a Doc” on YouTube.  

After sharing their favorite ACOP conference stories, Scott, Jason, and Tyree move into a discussion that is always at the tip of many trainees’ tongues, especially in the era of virtual interviews, that of how to make the most of your brief time when interviewing for the next step of medical training. Having a panel that consists of people who interview for all levels of medical training from medical school up to sub-specialty fellowship, the three are able to discuss important do’s and do not’s of virtual interviewing. 

This episode is a must-listen for trainees on all points along their medical education journey from the pre-med student looking at osteopathic medical schools to the senior resident considering fellowship training!
