On this episode, we are joined by PGY1 resident, Dr. Kristen Ingold, PharmD. Kristen came on the show to discuss her series of training videos designed to help students prep for their residency/fellowship interviews. She virtually interviewed 20-25 residency program directors (RPDs) from across the United States. Each RPD was asked the same list of questions. After collecting all of the interview videos, she took each video and spliced them together to form topic-specific videos that range from 5-15 minutes in duration. Topics include items that RPDs look for on a student’s curriculum vitae, GPA, choice of electives, resident characteristics, appropriate follow-up, social media, and more. There are 40 videos total (8 topics for 5 different regions of the United States). The best part about this video series is the price.....COMPLETELY FREE!  The free video series can be found on the SIUePharmacy YouTube page at the link below: https://m.youtube.com/user/SIUePharmacy   Read more about Kristen's project in the SIUE article at the link below:  https://www.siue.edu/news/2021/08/SIUEAlumna-MadeVideosAnswerCriticalQuestions,GiveSageAdvicetoPharmacyStudentsNationwide.shtml   If you have questions for Kristen, she can be reached on the following platforms: Email: k_ingold2@yahoo.com Instagram: @k_ingold2 https://www.instagram.com/k_ingold2/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristeningold/   Thanks for listening!
