I know this isn't everyone's experience all the time - but when people stutter openly, use an unapologetic disclosure statement, and focus on the content of the conversation - as opposed to trying to reduce/hide stuttering, listeners tend to respond more positively. When we show confidence in ourselves as communicators regardless of how much we stutter, people recognize that and are less distracted by the stuttering than they would be if we try to minimize it. For me, and for many other people who stutter, it's a lot harder to focus on saying what we want to say and really listen to the other person when our primary goal is fluency. I've realized over time that many of the difficult social or work-related interactions I've had were not difficult because I stutter but because I was working so hard to not stutter at the expense of actually communicating. I'm definitely not perfect at this but I feel so much more relaxed in a conversation, especially an important one like an interview, if the person is aware that I stutter and I've communicated (verbally and nonverbally) that it isn't something I see as a problem. This article about a doctor who has struggled with something similar to what you're talking about is really cool! And I know the stuttertalk podcast has a few episodes with doctors who stutter.

I'm sure you'll do great!
