Shivani Berry- The tag for USMLE Sarthi won't work if he doesn't accept the invite to join/post in this group. He's also ignoring my friend request.

That’s an excellent chart Dr. Brian. Loved it! For those who don’t know me, I’m one of Mission Residency alumni (2017). I want to mention that all details that are mentioned in this chart are VERY ACCURATE, facts and reflects what goes on behind the scene. I got to know who he is in the same way that he came to know me and he is such a jovial, kind hearted, supportive and motivating person and I'm very glad to have met him. He was ALWAYS available when I needed him literally anytime the day through mobile/FB/email. I'm sure I've spent countless hours getting his advice on how to fine tune my interview skills and have a game plan and HONEST to God those tips have been really useful for entire life!! I used it even for my fellowship interviews and got very positive comments. I've to strongly point out that it's a plus to know other members of the batch because they are one of your additional supports who also knows what you're going through and give valuable feedback! I was able to get in touch with the residents of my speciality who were Mission Residency alumni and they provided additional feedback for my interviews. Moreover I loved Dr. Brian's capability in editing my PS (based on my own story, just to be clear to some people who thinks he tries to impose his ideas!) n polishing my CV !!! My current associate PD appreciates that even today! This is my unbiased review of Mission Residency and I'm open to be contacted anytime thought FB if anyone has any doubts/questions about him or the program. I reiterate that Mission Residency a legit program and worth every penny! ✌🏼

I first started with a 1-1 session with Dr B while I was on my toilet seat. The 1-1 session was more like a diagnostic test. Dr B spent time to know me as a person, my background, family, success and your failures. We spent hours and days during what we call foundation classes. Each class was a minimum of 8-10 hours long. We learnt how to communicate effectively and to be ourselves. I was part of a class of about 5-6 other IMGS who eventually became my brothers and sisters. We practice for the entire year. I mean 365 days. After the 5 day foundation clases we started doing more cool stuff that no one would dare try during interview. Everything on the chart is spot on! This page is not big enough to describe all my experiences with Mission Residency. Let me know if you have any questions.

I wish I had this chart while I was still deciding which services to choose from. As an IMG, I was lost between so many suggestions and options told by seniors, fellow students on Facebook pages and forums. Honestly, I was hesitant to even try any of this, until I actually met Dr. Brian Mark. He did not ask what scores I had or what my CV looks like. His first question was which specialty are you interested in? The way he invests in us, try to get to know our personalities, our stories, where we come from and literally staying awake until 3-4 am in the morning helping us out is remarkable. From giving suggestions about personal statements, the day we submit our application, the day we get the first invite, first pre IV dinner and interview to the very last day of the season including the anxious night before the Match Monday and panic hour before the result is out HE IS THERE! To be completely honest, the number of hours written in the chart is way less than the actual number. Apart from the designated class schedule, there are countless other sessions including group practices to help us. For him, it is not only limited to get us matched, but he teaches us how to be a better student and resident for our patients. From being complete strangers, we ended up being a family! For anyone who is getting confused out there, I was one of you guys, unable to decide what to do next, I am more than happy to answer questions and help you any way possible.

Doctor B is really strong mentor. He has helped me and my brother doing every step of our residency course. He has spent countless hours trying to brainstorm ideas with us for our personal statement. Because of him we met some of the most awesome people with whom we had the pleasure of working alongside in getting to our dream job. Dr Brian's classes have been an amazing resource when it comes to preparing for interviews. I myself was not very confident speaker in front of an audience however after spending hundreds of hours in his class I was able to be myself during my interviews. And and this relationship lasts a life-time. Just recently he helped me match into oncology fellowship and I could not thank him enough for this. It has been an incredible journey and it wouldn't have been possible without Doctor Brian Mark. Me and my brother Vik are very thankful for the life he gave us. Joining doctor Brian's classes was possibly the best decision that we could ever make.

I can vouch for the effectiveness of Dr B's classes. Being a quiet person, I always felt my introversion held me back from reaching my potential. However, enrolling in Mission residency has taught me how to be an effective communicator while staying true to myself. Dr B is somebody who works tirelessly for his students, often disregarding his health and when he has had very conflicting schedules. These classes are not just a way to get through your residency interviews. These are valuable life lessons that will take you much further in your career. I basically had to restructure the way I thought, met my goals and dealt with problems. This was thanks to Mission residency. As for the chart, I feel this makes choosing an interview prep much easier.

Loved the new chart Dr. B. I just want to say the 1-1 live session was so helpful. Dissecting the interview every step and coming up with new content ideas that I used throughout the season was awesome. It just looks like a row with all the other features in the program but I cant stress how awesome this was. Other than the 1 on 1, I think we spent countless hours just practicing with mocks and fixing even the smallest issues. I honestly dont think I could have matched without you Dr. B. THANK YOU!!!

I came to know of Dr Brian's training through a friend. I paid for a lesser course which did not involve one on ones or PS editing. Yet Dr B took extra time and reviewed my PS in a separate session with me when I asked him to, conducted personal one on one mock interview with me, even though it was not part of my package! He really involves with his students, treats all students with equal share of delight, taps our strengths, spends sleepless nights and in the end brings out our confidence. He spends most of his time with his students(literally 18 hours a day) - I've sat in classes for four or five hours, only to discuss stories and random everyday events. I learned how to tell a story better, that catches the eye of the interviewer. I mean aside from the items listed in the chart above, he even has open class sessions or extra sessions! I've enjoyed every aspect of this communication course, the Rx replays, the mock interviews, helping other batchmates, bringing new ideas to my plate. I highly recommend Dr B for excelling in your interviews. Good luck! And yes the offers listed in the chart above is every bit true.
