Dr. Wen takes a genuinely personalized approach and helped me recount compelling and powerful stories from my own life experiences to be used in my personal statement. She is truly talented at weaving together stories into a cohesive and unique personal statement, one that I was ultimately really proud of.

FAQs

Are you really a medical doctor?

Yes, really, I am a medical doctor. 😊 I completed my anesthesia residency at Stanford and currently work as an board-certified anesthesiologist.

What is your strategic approach to write a strong personal statement?

1: My HERO method ensures your stories are:

  • Heroic

  • Exciting/Inspiring

  • Relevant to your specialty

  • One-of-a-kind.

When your reviewers read your stories, I want them to be curious and eager to meet you. (Read more about my personal statement strategies in my #1 bestselling book here.)

2: You will have a key unfair advantage at your interviews, as your stories will set you up for authentic human connection with your interviewer.

3: When the residency selection committee meets, your interviewers can effectively advocate on your behalf by sharing your stories.
