Every interview season, Corewell Health Beaumont Troy on Dequindre Road brings in fourth-year medical students for its family medicine residency, eight places a year, filled through the Match. The interview feeds the Match, and the Match decides where he spends his residency. They arrive with one suit, bought for the first round of interviews, and a budget that doesn’t have a second suit in it.
Navy, and only navy
Navy. A single-breasted, two-button navy suit is correct in every interview room in medicine and will be correct at the graduation and the first conference after it. The Everyday Classics tier at $139 to $159 is honest money for a suit that has to last the season and then get promoted to weddings.
Where the money goes instead
Into the fit. A consultant measures you on the floor. Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, sets the sleeve so the shirt cuff shows and the trouser so it breaks once. A $149 suit that fits beats anything that doesn’t, and on interview day nobody in that hospital can tell which tier it came from.
Bring the shirt and the shoes
The interview shirt, so the sleeve is set to its cuff; the interview shoes, so the hem is right. From the hospital it is Dequindre south to I-696 west, off at Greenfield.
