• Research the school(s) you are interviewing with to understand the number of stations, time between each station, time in each station, past station types and other interview conventions.

• Learn about your prospective field including scope of practice, key priorities, and issues through podcasts, documentaries, articles and books.

• Prepare stories, reflections and anecdotes related to the program competencies.

• Familiarize yourself with question types and possible answer structures.
