I used the Match Guy Interview preparation bundle. Dr. Zhang was my interviewer, and he was amazing, providing insights into the residency interview season and overall training me on how to best respond to questions. It helped me match at the place where I interviewed. I also used the free resources available at the Match Guy. Thank you!!

I m thrilled to share that I matched into my top-choice Internal Medicine program, and I truly believe working with Dr. Besher Shami played an important role in helping me get there. I had the pleasure of working with him to prepare for my CaRMS Internal Medicine interviews, and his support was exceptional from start to finish. What stood out most was how personalized and thoughtful his approach was, he tailored our sessions to my specific background, experiences, and goals, which made the preparation feel highly relevant, strategic, and authentic. His feedback was insightful, honest, and incredibly constructive, and he helped me refine both the content of my answers and the way I presented myself. Beyond the interview sessions themselves, his follow-up was amazing both before and after the match, and I felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process. I am very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Dr. Shami to anyone preparing for residency interviews.

Dr. Besher Shami has been fantastic in guiding me on what to expect from the Internal Medicine interview process. He was incredibly insightful and supportive throughout. The mock interview portion was very realistic, and his feedback afterward was extremely helpful.
Although I was nervous at first, he helped me feel comfortable right away by clearly breaking down what I did well and where I could improve on each question. His feedback was specific, structured, and easy to follow. He tailored the sessions to Canadian requirements and created multiple clinical scenarios that were genuinely helpful during my actual interviews. He also provided individualized examples I could use to refine my answers, which made a big difference.
In addition, he was very flexible with scheduling and generous with his time, often staying longer to ensure I fully understood the reasoning and expectations behind his feedback. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I feel much more prepared after just my first session.I highy recommend working with him!

Dr Batah helped me with three mock interviews, preparing me well for common and challenging questions. She remembered my weaknesses and helped me craft genuine responses from my experiences. It was very easy to schedule with her and communicate through email. I appreciate her encouraging attitude and experience as a US-MD applicant.

I have to say, money and time very well spent! I used the match guy for interview preparation. I like that I was able to choose the doctor I wanted. They have an impressive list of doctors from different levels and specialities but I am so glad I went with Dr. Marinos Sotiropoulos. He was kind, patient and very insightful. I was very impressed by him! He paid close attention and would even repeat my answers showing he was actually paying attention. Sessions with him really challenged me and were way harder than the actual interviews and that really helped me. Words cant express how much he boosted my confidence.
I recently had an interview preparation session with Dr. Benjamin Scott, and it was incredibly informative.
As an International Medical Graduate (IMG), the hardest part of preparation was understanding the specific intent behind high-yield questions and knowing the culturally appropriate way to answer them. Dr. Scott bridged this gap perfectly.
He was particularly helpful with the "Tell me about yourself" question, which I found most difficult to structure. He provided detailed examples and a clear method on how to build a strong narrative. For other high-yield questions, he didn't just correct my grammar; he went through my answers line by line and gave detailed instructions on how to refine them.
Thanks to his guidance, I feel much more at ease and confident about my upcoming interviews. Highly recommended!

I had an excellent experience with The Match Guy and would highly recommend their services to anyone preparing for residency. The program was incredibly helpful in making my application more competitive and giving me the confidence I needed throughout the process.
Dr. Shami was especially outstanding! He organized mock interviews that closely mirrored real interview scenarios, and his guidance helped me feel well-prepared and polished on interview day. Dr. Fischer also played a major role in strengthening my application. His detailed and constructive feedback on my personal statement helped transform it into something I later received multiple compliments on during interviews.
Overall, The Match Guy provided invaluable support at every step. I'm very grateful for their mentorship, professionalism, and dedication. I truly couldn't recommend them more!

I had an excellent experience preparing for my residency interview. As an international medical graduate, I valued how well the guidance matched my background and the expectations of residency programs. The coaching was clear, practical, and focused on helping me communicate my strengths confidently.
During my actual interview, many of the questions were very similar to the ones we practiced, which made me feel prepared and steady throughout the conversation. The session genuinely improved the way I approached my answers and gave me a much better understanding of what interviewers look for.
I am truly grateful for the support I received, and I would highly recommend this service to anyone preparing for residency interviews. It made a meaningful difference in my performance.
My experience with Dr. Shami was exceptional. He is smart, insightful, patient, and incredibly supportive. He guided me through every interview question with clarity and helped me understand how programs think. He answered all my questions, no matter how small, and made me feel confident and prepared. I truly appreciate his humility and dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone preparing for residency interviews.
MatchGuy is straightforward about the quality of its services, and there's a good reason. I received excellent personal statement edits and interview prep with Dr. Adam Watkins and Dr. Shami Besher, respectively! Both were well-suited to the task and truly went above and beyond to support my application. You definitely get your money's worth and more with MatchGuy!
I had the pleasure of working with Besher through The Match Guy, a company truly specialized and experienced in interview preparation. Even though I started preparing just one week before my interview, the progress I made was remarkable.
In only three one-hour sessions, Besher helped me practice almost every question my program director ended up asking. His coaching style is clear, structured, and incredibly effective. He gave me valuable clues, strengthened my responses, and helped me understand how to present myself with confidence.
His flexibility with scheduling made the whole process even easier, and he tailored each session to exactly what I needed.
Thanks to Besher and Match Guy, I went into my interview feeling prepared and self-assured. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants expert, personalized, and efficient interview preparation.
Extremely helpful and informative and very specific interview prep for the specialty I was applying for with someone who had in depth knowledge and experience having gone through the same process recently. Feel like it really helped me feel prepared!

I had a great experience with The Match Guy, particularly with Dr. Haddad. She helped me with navigating the application and interview process. Dr. Haddad is so knowledgeable and supportive. Truly, she gave the most helpful guidance and made the already stressful process easier to manage. I don't know what I would have done without her help! Dr. Haddad is a wonderful mentor, and I am so grateful for her help.
Dr. Bousamra really helped me sharpen my interview skills. He gave incredibly detailed, personalized feedback—like pointing out small habits or phrasing I could refine—and always followed up with clear steps to improve. He was so approachable and responsive, even over email, that it made the whole process feel structured and encouraging. Honestly, his guidance made a huge difference in how I present myself and communicate my story.

I had a mock interview with Dr. Zayat yesterday, and it was an excellent experience. He was very professional and provided insightful feedback that helped me identify areas for improvement and ways to address them. I’m very grateful for his guidance and constructive comments.

I had the opportunity to interview prep with Dr. Billy Zhang. I had 3 sessions with him and he was very helpful in how I should articulate myself and make my answers more concise. I also had Dr. fisher go over my PS and he made it a lot more concise and easy to read. I can’t thank them both enough!
