What You’ll Experience

Five Credits. The Full PD Experience.

Five drills selected to show you exactly what PD-calibrated feedback looks like —
full ACGME scoring, real evaluation notes, nothing held back.
The kind of structured PD-grade feedback that private residency advisors charge hundreds of dollars an hour to provide — free for your first five drills.
The growth is yours.

01 — Scoring

Real ACGME Competency Scores

Not pass/fail. Not “good job.” Numerical scores across every ACGME competency a Program Director evaluates — Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Communication, Professionalism, and more. You see exactly what’s strong, what’s close, and where your next drill should focus.

02 — evaluation

PD Evaluation Notes That Sharpen Your Signal

What a Program Director evaluates in your answer — and why. PDs score across four lenses: ACGME competencies, Trust, Risk, and Teachability. Targeted feedback on what’s already working, what to sharpen, and how to express it in your own voice — not a script, but the signal PDs are listening for.

03 — Playbook

Expert PD Feedback Saved to Your Playbook

Expert feedback showing what a competitive answer demonstrates — mapped to the evaluation criteria a PD actually uses. Your answers stay yours, your voice stays consistent, and your Playbook grows with every drill. Scores, evaluation notes, and PD-grade feedback from all five free drills carry over completely if you continue.

What Applicants Say

Preparing With a PD’s Perspective.

★★★★★

“I practiced with ChatGPT for weeks and thought I was ready. Interview Drills showed me I was scoring a 4 on Professionalism — I had no idea PDs were evaluating that dimension separately. Five free drills changed my entire approach.”

★★★★★

“The coaching notes were the part that got me. Not ‘say this instead’ — it was ‘here’s what a PD is actually listening for when you answer this way.’ I finally understood how to show what I already had.”

Common Questions

Before You Start.

What do I get with the free trial?

5 free Interview Drill credits. Each credit is one full drill: a PD-calibrated interview question, your recorded answer, scoring across all 6 ACGME core competencies, detailed evaluation notes explaining what a Program Director evaluates, and expert feedback on the qualities PDs search for — saved to your personal Playbook. The free drills are curated to demonstrate the full depth of PD-calibrated evaluation — the same scoring and feedback quality paid users receive. No features are gated or limited during the free trial.

Do I need a credit card?

No. The free trial requires only your name, email, and a password. No credit card, no billing information, no automatic charges. Your 5 free credits are available immediately after signup.

How is this different from practicing with generic AI?

Generic AI has no evaluative framework. It responds to your interview answer the same way it responds to any question — with no understanding of what a Program Director actually scores. Interview Drills evaluates your actual answer on every lens PDs use to rank candidates using PD-calibrated methodology built by a former Program Director who chaired on selection committees. You receive numerical scores per competency, targeted evaluation notes on what a PD evaluates, and expert feedback on the qualities PDs search for — not generic suggestions.

What happens after I use all 5 credits?

Your Playbook — all scoring, evaluation notes, and expert PD feedback from your free drills — carries over completely. Nothing is lost. Most users continue with Interview Drills Pro (175 credits) for serious interview preparation. When you’re ready for the full picture, ResidencyWorks bundles combine Interview Drills with ApplicationLens (PD-grade ERAS evaluation), PathwayFinder (alternative residency pathways), and more — everything calibrated to what Program Directors actually evaluate.

What are the 6 ACGME competencies Interview Drills scores?

Interview Drills scores every answer across the six ACGME core competencies that form the foundation of residency evaluation: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice. But here’s what most applicants miss — ACGME competencies are only one of four lenses a PD weighs when ranking you. Beyond the six competencies, PDs are assessing Trust (Can I trust this person with my patients at 2 AM?), Professional Risk (Is there anything here that signals instability or attrition?), and Teachability (Will this person get better, take feedback, and elevate the team?). Most preparation tools stop at ACGME. Interview Drills covers all four lenses — because that’s the actual scorecard. Learn about the evaluation framework →
