Video Summary

In this video segment, the interview process for medical programs is discussed. The goal of the interview is to determine the fit between the program and applicant. Two types of interviews are mentioned: traditional unstructured interviews and structured interviews. The importance of following the NRMP rules and code of conduct is emphasized.
