Becoming A Docto

A doctor is someone who can help someone else in need. There are many
             types of doctors, ranging from general pediatricians to specialists. They are
             respected people and are looked to when something is wrong. Everyone needs a
             doctor at some point, so doctors are very much in demand.
             I am interested in this career because I like to help people. Also, it
             pays well so I can live off the salary. Another reason is because many of my
             relatives are doctors, nurses, or dentists. Even though school and training are
             very hard, it pays off in the end, when someone can make a difference in
             someone's life. I am not sure if I would like to be a pediatrician, or a
             specialist. Specialists probably earn more money, but do not do as much, and
             are required to learn more. I do not think I will want to be a surgeon, because
             cutting people open and taking things out does not seem very appealing.
             To become a doctor, one must endure a lot of training and education. In
             college, one must study courses to prepare for medicine, such as biology,
             chemistry, and some advanced mathematics. It generally takes seven to eight
             years to finish his education. The first four years, one would take pre-med.
             classes. Then it's on to medical school, where for four years one learns about
             the area of medicine one chooses. After medical school, about one year of
             internship is needed. Then he becomes a resident and practice medicine under
             supervision of a senior doctor. All together, it is about 11 years before one
             actually become an independent doctor.
             Doctors will always be needed. Because of this, and because of the
             population growth, doctors will always be in demand and the profession will
             continue to grow. This way, a doctor will be unemployed less, and will be more
             A doctor can earn from $60,000 to $700,000. Pediatricians and doctors at
             free clinics earn the least, although they are ...

A Comprehensive Guide To Medical Career Interviews

Interviews are often  stressful—even for those who have gone on countless interviews. The best way to reduce the stress is to be prepared. These tips will help you through the entire interviewing process and ensure that you not only impress your interviewer but also know if the facility is the right place for you.
Preparing for the Interview 
Before you have that first interview it is important to identify your needs and preferences. What do you want to get out of a job? What does it need to do for you and what will you bring to it? Start by doing the following:
•List your strengths and weaknesses
•List your goals and objectives
•List your most important personal and professional needs
•Decide on areas of trade-off and compromise
•Develop desirable/undesirable job profiles
•Consider performing a self-analysis such as the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator
•List your family requirements, including preferences for school, religious affiliations, recreation, housing, employment for your spouse, and any special needs
Before the Interview 
Refer to the lists you’ve developed as you are interviewing. They will help you determine what is most important to you, and will assist you in evaluating and comparing specific opportunities.
Prepare and forward your CV with a cover letter. The employer will make an initial assessment of you based on your CV; therefore, you want to make sure to proofread it carefully and have it professionally printed. You should also prepare your references and confirm their availability to speak with prospective employers.
Research the opportunity and community as much as possible, being sure to contact local specialty organizations and healthcare professionals. You will want to gather information on:
•Reputation of the practice, including such information as malpractice suits, harmony and rapport within the group, and practice ethics
•Number of specialists in the community
•Entry-level salaries
•Physician/patient ratio in the area
•Resources
•Physicians in the community
•Local medical associations and societies
•Area hospitals
Take the following things with you to the interview: extra copies of your CV, a copy of your interview itinerary, a pen and notepad.
If you are interviewing in a distant location, plan to spend several days there. During your visit, arrange to tour the practice or hospital, meet the staff and partners, and even spend an evening with them if possible. You should also allow time to meet with a real estate agent and visit the local chamber of commerce. The night before your interview, drive to the location to know how much time to allow and where to park. Most prospective employers will cover interview expenses. If they do not offer the information up front, be sure to ask what their payment or reimbursement process is before making travel plans.
The Interview Itself 
Make a positive first impression by arriving promptly, dressing professionally, and displaying professional, courteous behavior at all times. Your body language during the interview is also important. Make a point to maintain eye contact, smile, sit up straight with your hands in a comfortable position, modulate your voice and keep a positive attitude.
You should allow the interviewer to control the flow of the conversation, but do not hesitate to ask questions when appropriate. Be sure to answer all questions in full sentences, and limit your responses to 2-3 minutes.
Keep in mind that the real purposes of the interview from your perspective are to present yourself in a positive light and to gather information about the opportunity. The employer’s main purposes are to determine your professional credentials and practice style, your behavioral characteristics, personality fit, “team-player” capabilities, and long-term goals and interests.
As the interview comes to a close, you will want to reiterate your interest in the opportunity, verify that you are still a candidate, and briefly discuss the next steps in the selection process. Finally, you should exit the interview as you entered, with a firm handshake and an expression of thanks for the interviewer’s time and consideration.

Take the time to review the interview questions you will most likely be asked. Prepare yourself using the list of common interview questions below.

After the Interview 
Following the interview it is good to review what questions were asked that you had a hard time answering and which questions that you asked got you the best information or really engaged your interviewer.

In addition, follow up promptly by sending a letter or email to each person with whom you interviewed. Be sure to reiterate the reasons you believe you are qualified and thank them for their time and interest in you.

Physician Interview Questions and Answers


Updated: Since this article originally appeared on our blog, employers have started including behavioral questions in physician interviews. Examples of those questions have been added below.
The physician interview is very different from other professions. The interviewer is tasked with finding someone who not only fits all the technical skill requirements, but who is a cultural fit to a facility; someone who meshes well within the community, can connect with patients and have appropriate bedside manner — especially when dealing with life-and-death situations.
We asked some of our clients who have extensive experience interviewing for physician positions what their ideal answers would be to the most frequently asked interview questions. Below are our findings:
  1. “Tell me about yourself.” This is a question that you as a physician will very likely encounter. We found that healthcare facilities want to hear about your training experience, your background (is it from well-recognized/highly accredited firms?), your dreams (hopefully they are in line with the position that you are interviewing for) and any ties to the facility or the location in which you are trying to apply. Try to convey your message in a few brief sentences.
  2. “Why did you go into medicine?” Resoundingly, our clients expressed their distaste with physicians saying that they went into medicine for the pay. No employer wants to hire a money-hungry physician. Be honest about why you went into medicine. One possible answer: “I want to help people and provide the best medical care that I can.”
  3. “What would you bring to the practice?” The interviewer isn’t going to be impressed with false promises. Highlight what you are good at without sounding overly boastful. Possible answer: “I would bring a solid work ethic to the practice, a desire to be part of the team and the ability to provide quality care.”
  4. “Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?” This question is subjective. If you are a locum tenens physician, your answer is going to be different from other physicians’ answers. We recommend that you answer honestly. If you plan on entering retirement in the next five to 10 years, tell the interviewer. It is the most fair to both parties. In some cases, it is even okay to say that you don’t know.
  5. “How do you react under pressure?” This is a very important question to answer. Most physician specialties require brilliance in the heat of the moment. Highlight your ability to rise to the occasion when it is necessary.
  6. “Describe your experience and skills.” Most employers are going to be impressed by institutions with names that they recognize. However, if you did not get your training from a highly recognized school or facility, highlight the accolades that it has as well as why you chose to pursue that institution.
  7. “What are your goals and objectives?” Think of this question in terms of what the interviewer wants to hear. Try to phrase your goals and objectives to be in alignment with the position for which you are interviewing. Possible answer: “I want to build a solid practice, provide consistent quality care for my patients and be part of the team.”
  8. “What kind of salary are you looking for?” At CompHealth, we try to coach our candidates to steer away from talking about salary in an interview. If you say a number that is too high for the hospital, you might be taking yourself out of the race. If you give them a number that is low, you are either leaving money on the table or you are giving the interviewer the impression that you are worth less than the next candidate. Possible answer: “I am looking for at least a competitive salary; I definitely want to receive compensation equal to the effort put forth.”
  9. “Why are you interested in this position?” This is likely one of the first questions a candidate might be asked. Most candidates see success when they highlight the facility and the surrounding area. Talk about why you want to be in that city (Is it the size of the city? Cost of living? The people? Quality schools for your kids? No income tax?) and what is unique about the facility (Size? Renowned doctors? The facility culture?). This is a subjective question, but try to answer succinctly and get to the point quickly.
  10. “What are your strengths?” This is another subjective question but try to highlight abilities that the interviewer will see as strengths. Things like work ethic, honesty, compassion, solid training and the ability to work well with others are all things that will make you shine in the interview process.
  11. “What are your weaknesses?” Similar to the question above, try and answer this in a way that suggests weaknesses to you may not be so bad to the employer. If you appear to be a workaholic or an overachiever, that may not be a big red flag to the interviewer.
  12. “Why should I hire you?” This is one of the last questions that you might hear in the interview. If you do hear it, you are probably doing well. It is important to not overqualify yourself with your answer to this question. Try to highlight why you would be the only candidate who would fit the position.
  13. “What other practices are you investigating?” Be honest with your answer to this question, but highlight that the facility you are interviewing with is the most important. Possible answer: “None that compare to this clinic, because it is ________ and _________.”

Looking for Emotional IQ

Employers and patients are looking for doctors who have both strong clinical skills and high emotional intelligence. Emotional IQ is the ability to understand your own emotions as well as discern others’ emotions, and then use that information to guide your thoughts and actions.
An ideal job candidate needs to have a good bedside manner and the ability to communicate and empathize with patients and staff. So, be prepared to answer behavioral questions that reveal how you approach difficult conversations with patients and if you excel in a team-based environment.
Here are some common behavioral interview questions asked in physician interviews:
  1. Describe a time when you were faced with a stressful situation and you demonstrated your coping skills.
  2. Give me a specific example of a time when you had to conform to a policy with which you did not agree.
  3. What do you do if you disagree with a patient?
  4. What is your typical way of dealing with conflict? Give me an example.
  5. Tell me about a recent situation in which you had to deal with a very upset patient or staff member.
  6. Describe a time when you were wrong.
  7. Tell me about a time when you misdiagnosed a case and how you resolved it.
  8. Describe a time when you anticipated potential problems and developed preventive measures.
  9. How have you handled a difficult situation with a supervisor?
  10. Walk me through how you present complicated information or instructions to patients.
