Your interviewers will likely see an excellent pool of candidates for their residency program, so a question like this is an opportunity for you to stand out. If you are lucky enough to land an interview, be sure to research the school. You don't need to be an expert on their entire history, but your interviewers want to hear that you are knowledgeable about their program, culture, and recent accolades.

"The accolades that your Periodontology training program has received over the years is impressive, most notably being recognized as the top-ranked program in the country. As an institution, you have transformed your city into a booming center for medicine, research, and business, and it's something I would love to be a part of. I also knew a prior trainee in your Pediatric Dentistry program, and she had nothing but the best to say about her time here."

Before your interview, the best thing you can do is research the school and the program through their website. There, you may find news articles, program events, or contributions the program has made to its community. If possible, identify the mission and values of the school so that you can speak confidently on what their program stands for and what sets them apart from other similar training programs.
