Great point! Would like to share that for those not comfortable staring at the camera lens here is a strategy: I recommend resizing the zoom window and bringing it close to the camera lens (see pic). This allows one to look at the interviewer while also maintaining eye contact.

Using ACTION words in your personal statements can make a huge difference. 'I helped assemble a study guide for med students...' if revised as 'I created a study guide for ...' becomes much stronger. Programs crave residency applicants who are active, responsible and creative.

IMO no one has time to search a residency applicant on twitter by entering the AAMC ID. Also, I suggest treating the AAMC ID as personal identifier i.e. keep it confidential. Writing about oneself, interests/hobbies/skills is fantastic enough. Ccing
