Capture with Confidence: A Guide to Acing Medical School Interviews is available to read on any device using the Kindle app.

Capture with Confidence: A Guide to Acing Medical School Interviews is a unique guide focused on providing medical school applicants with actionable tips on how to build and demonstrate confidence in order to shine in their interviews. This guide is a tool to be used in advising applicants on preparing for the unexpected. From the author’s experience of attending many medical school interviews and now as a medical student, she shares the lessons she learned from her own trials and errors. This guide does not contain interview questions you should practice nor what the author thinks are perfect responses. Rather, it will offer strategies, exercises, and advice to improve confidence about the interview process, and how to effectively prepare for medical school interviews. The author specifically shares advice on topics such as body language, appearance, etiquette, and virtual interviews.

I just completed my first two traditional interviews after reading this book. Although I had virtual interviews, a lot of the tips in here were so helpful. This is an awesome resource and an easy read for those going through this intense process. The author’s tone makes you feel like you’re just getting great, candid advice from a friend, definitely recommend!

I liked the simple advice, good overview. Lots of pep talk, but maybe I needed it after being over critical to myself. Nice read overall. Doesn’t have examples of interview questions and answers but you can find those elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read from those preparing for Medical school interviews
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020
I must say, I read and reread Capture with Confidence prior to my interviews this application cycle and walked away with a new insight that I applied to my interview preparation each time. Without a doubt, this is a MUST read for anyone who is interviewing at a medical school in the near future. In particular, I recommend this to individuals who may identify as being from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine or those who may be looking for a competitive edge as they approach interviews for medical school.

If you are looking for a template of potential interview questions and the correct/incorrect way to answer them, this may not be the most appropriate resource for you. This book rather focuses on practical steps to enhance interview performance and pitfalls to avoid during the interview day based on the perspective of a medical student who had great success interviewing at medical schools across the U.S.

I hope you take the opportunity to reflect on the many lessons this student physician shared in this e-guide as you prepare to take the next step in your journey towards becoming a physician. More importantly, I encourage you to go the extra mile and practice the tips the author shared in the e-guide. You will be happy that you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Med School Interview Prep Essential
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
Freaking out about my upcoming interviews, finding this book was a godsend. An engaging read full of anecdotes and vivid descriptions of the interview process, this book has helped me feel much better about what to expect and most importantly, how to prepare for arguably the most important interviews of my life. This book literally walks you through all the prep work, from practicing your speech, to body language, to exuding confidence, and through the actual interview process and day, including MMIs (which are still somewhat scary to me!). I really loved the chapter with mock interview questions and general principles about what to know about each school, because I had been really feeling lost clicking frantically through med school websites (if you have an interview coming up you know what I mean). The list of essentials, including travel items and emergency meds (headaches anyone?), was a super nice touch. Overall, this book laid the whole interview process out super clearly, and with fun storytelling, helping me calm my nerves. I'm so glad I found it before my other interviews because I feel much more prepared and less scared of the whole process!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing guidebook not just for medical school, but for life
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020
Pamela’s personality and ability to ground experiences and knowledge in a relatable way draws you in immediately. Her personal narratives allow the book to read as a personal conversation between yourself and the author, making the advice she offers so much more poignant and helpful.

This is not a list of commonly asked questions for medical school interviews- this is even better. This is a guidebook for how to gain confidence in all spheres of your life. While the author chooses to focus on medical school interviews in her piece, her expertise on confidence building, communication skills, and self-presentation are important and KEY skills every single individual needs to carry. Buy this book for yourself or your pre-med friend. However, also consider buying this for your aunt going to her job interview at a bank, for your brother applying for a business internship, or for your mentee planning to pitch their first book idea. Capture with Confidence is a must have read for everyone’s library to build the confidence, skills, and assets to succeed in every area of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely informational. It's a gem for medical school interviews
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
I feel so lucky that I had a chance to read this guide just in time for my upcoming medical school interviews. Pamela talks in depth about her interview experience and how much it taught her that she is able to share with people following in her footsteps. One thing I loved the most about her guide is that it includes anecdotes about her own interview scares as well as a variety of tips and tricks to avoid those. I love that the tone of the guide is so friendly and easy to read so it seems like I am being told all this information by a friend or a mentor. Pamela does a splendid job at conveying the intricacies of the medical school interview process, and I could not be more grateful that this guide fell into my hands at the right time. On to interviews I go with all the wisdom Pamela has blessed me with through her guide. Please look no further if you are looking to ace your interviews, just like I am.

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020
This guide was extremely useful from beginning to end! Despite not currently being at the stages of medical school interviewing, I have found this guide to be applicable at all stages, and in many settings! The author invokes her own personal voice, her personal stories and her personal touch which is refreshing and invigorating. It is like having a companion give you tips, and guide you through what may be one of the most transformative moments of your life. You will laugh, you will smile, you will reflect and you will be inspired! Overall, if you are considering applying to medical school, or interviewing soon, it would do you justice to get this guide. Trust me, you will not regret it!!
