title: Conducting a meaningful interview: making the most of a golden opportunity.
abstract: The interview is an integral part of the residency selection process, and is a golden opportunity for you and the student. If you are willing to consider certain pre-interview decisions and structure your interview in a way that allows you to learn more about a candidate than just their academic accomplishments, there is an excellent chance that you will select and match with candidates who best complement your learning environment.
