Tell me where you're stuck.
Before the session, you'll share your specialty and the part of residency interviewing you're most concerned about so we can use the 30 minutes well.

How it works
A lower-pressure way to see if coaching helps.
You do not need to commit to a full preparation program before you know whether MatchRounds is useful to you.
2
Practice it out loud.
We'll work through real interview questions, identify what is landing well, and rebuild answers that need more substance, clarity, or purpose.
3
Leave with a framework.
After the completed session, you'll receive the MatchRounds Residency Interview Playbook so you can keep practicing the same approach on your own.
Included after your Starter Session
The Residency Interview Playbook
This isn't a generic list of interview questions. It's the framework we'll use to help you turn ordinary experiences into answers that actually tell an interviewer something about you.
- The Story + The Story About the Story
- Experience → Action → Meaning → Growth → You
- What interviewers are really trying to learn
- A framework for discussing application red flags
- The five stories you should know before interview day
The Playbook is delivered after your completed Starter Session and is not sold separately.
Where strong applicants get stuck
Knowing your story is not the same as knowing how to tell it.
A strong answer needs the story—and the story about the story.
Your experiences got you the interview. Now make them mean something.
Anyone can recite an event. Strong interview answers communicate why it mattered, what you did, what you learned, how you grew, and what the experience says about the resident—and eventual attending physician—you are becoming.
EXPERIENCE→ACTION→MEANING→GROWTH→YOU
MatchRounds helps you practice that process until the answer feels natural—not memorized.

Real interview experience. Practical feedback.
Physician-led coaching focused on the parts of interviewing that transfer across specialties.
Sessions are conducted one-on-one with a U.S.-trained Emergency Medicine physician currently completing fellowship training in Neurocritical Care.
Experience includes professional interviews before medical school, the residency application and Match process, Emergency Medicine residency, fellowship applications and interviews, academic research, clinical presentations, and working alongside residents and physicians across specialties.
MatchRounds focuses on communicating your story, behavioral questions, strengths and weaknesses, difficult application topics, and explaining why a specialty or program fits you. It does not provide scripts, insider promises, or guaranteed outcomes.
FAQ
Before you book.
What happens during the 30-minute Starter Session?
We focus on the part of residency interviewing you are most concerned about, practice real questions, and identify specific changes you can make. The goal is focused coaching—not trying to cram a full mock interview into 30 minutes.
When do I receive the Playbook?
The MatchRounds Residency Interview Playbook is delivered after your completed Starter Session. It is intended to reinforce the concepts and frameworks used during coaching.
Do I need to book anything else afterward?
No. The Starter Session stands on its own. If you decide you want more practice, you can later book the 60-minute mock interview or Complete Interview Prep.
Will you help me hide a red flag?
No. We can work on discussing difficult or sensitive parts of an application honestly, professionally, and with appropriate context, but not on concealing or misrepresenting information.
Is MatchRounds only for Emergency Medicine?
No. Coaching is designed for residency applicants across specialties. Emergency Medicine applicants also benefit from the coach's direct Emergency Medicine residency experience.
Do you guarantee that I will match?
No. No ethical interview-preparation service can guarantee interviews, ranking, residency placement, or Match outcomes. MatchRounds provides educational coaching and individualized feedback only.
