Your Interview Companion — Anytime, Anywhere

Designed to complement our virtual courses and mock interviews, this book brings everything together into one easy-to-use guide.


Why I Wrote This Book

This book was created for busy doctors who want to prepare effectively, without spending hours buried in textbooks.

While preparing for my own IMT and Cardiology interviews, I noticed that many medical interview books on the market were overwhelming in length. Like many of my peers, I found it challenging to absorb such heavy material after a full day at work.

Determined to create a more practical resource, I set out to write a concise and easy-to-read interview guide. I drew inspiration from bestselling titles like Make Time by former Google engineers and The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss — books praised for their clarity and reader-friendly design. After six months of writing and refining, I distilled the content into just 80 pages. With just three pages a day, you can finish it in under a month.

I also found that most interview books are felt static and lacked interactivity. To change that, this guide includes reflective prompts and dedicated space for you to write your own responses before reviewing the worked examples for inspirations.

Finally, while many resources introduce frameworks, few show how to apply them under real interview pressure. This book bridges that gap by offering realistic scenario-based examples that help you apply each framework with clarity and confidence.

  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
