Now that you have started practicing your interview skills, it is time to reach-out to a healthcare employee (preferably someone in human resources or that works at a facility you are interested in), and schedule a mock interview. Ideally, you want to schedule this in-person or digitally (using webcams). Be sure to provide the assignment document below to the employee ahead of time (minimally 24 hours prior to your interview) so that they can prepare. You will need to provide them a copy of your resume. To get credit for this assignment, you will need to submit an evaluation form that the interviewer completes.

As a medical professor in charge of creating assignments and evaluating student performance, I understand the importance of practical experience and professional development for medical college students. One such assignment that can greatly benefit students is conducting a mock interview with a healthcare employee, preferably someone in human resources or someone who works at a facility the student is interested in.
The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with an opportunity to practice their interview skills and receive feedback from a healthcare professional. By scheduling a mock interview either in-person or digitally through webcams, students can simulate a real-life interview setting and gain valuable insights into their strengths and areas for improvement.
To ensure the success of the mock interview, students are required to provide the assigned document and a copy of their resume to the interviewer at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled interview. This allows the interviewer to adequately prepare and provide constructive feedback based on the student’s background and qualifications.
In order to receive credit for this assignment, students must also submit an evaluation form completed by the interviewer. This evaluation form will assess the student’s performance during the mock interview, providing specific feedback on their communication skills, professionalism, knowledge of the healthcare industry, and overall readiness for future interviews.
By incorporating this mock interview assignment into the curriculum, students can enhance their interview skills and gain practical insights that will be valuable for their professional growth in the medical field. It allows them to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, preparing them for successful career opportunities in healthcare.
