It looks like our program would be a big move for you. Are you willing and ready to relocate here if you match into our program?

"As I submitted applications for Dermatology residency programs, I knew I would relocate anywhere in the country for a program that is the right fit for me. Having thoroughly researched this city and region, I can see myself thriving here. I can easily pick up and go where I am needed because my family fully supports my decision to pursue a great training program, and from what I've learned today, I'm confident that I found that here."

The goal when answering this question is to assure the interviewer that relocating will not be a problem for you. Don't hesitate to talk about your personal or family situation and the support you have to pursue this dream of yours. To persuade your interviewers, show that you've done your homework on the city and region where their program is located and reiterate that you see it as an excellent fit.

"I wouldn't have any issues relocating. Having grown up in a rural farming community, I'm excited to explore a large metro area like this. I love the four seasons in this region and would look forward to my time in residency and my off time to explore and have fun."

"My hope to match to a program where I can get an excellent training, such as your program. Currently, my priority is my education and training, and I would be happy to move if I matched to your program."
