Sort of crazy test for surgical residents in Japan...

submitted by SFOGuy

Well--it looks likes the stress-test interview that tech companies (Google? Google are you out there?) and the nuclear Navy (Rickover's nuclear officer interviews) use/used might have come to Japan and the entrance exam for a surgical residency.

Or this is a highly unique and bizarre fake.

Interesting approach if it's real.

I might also add something; see if the semifinalists can talk a bunch of unrelated, random children into doing something that requires cooperation and team work. Because, oddly, modern medicine needs that. Not that everyone else on the team is a child; but if you're going to make it hard, you might as well....anyway, you get it.

Kind of gimmicky.

As long as you're trainable and not a total klutz, you can develop the hands skills you need throughout residency. It also depends on what kind of surgery you're doing. A general surgeon for example doesn't quite need the same level of fine motor dexterity as an ophthalmologist.

What's FAR more important to a residency program is someone who is hard working, reliable, dedicated, and a team player who can get along with others.
