0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the EM Clerkship podcast. My name is Maddie Watts and I'm a brand new intern,
0:07.8	and this is my series on applying and interviewing for emergency medicine residency. Today will be
0:13.7	the first of two episodes on the interview season. This episode will focus on how interview invites
0:19.4	work and what to do when scheduling your
