"I have several questions. Can you tell me about the research opportunities that are available for your residents? I am interested in pursuing research down the road following residency. Also, I'm curious to hear about the demographics of the patients you see here in this hospital. I'm want to ensure that my training exposes me to a very diverse patient base. Can you tell me more about this?"

You should have questions ready for the end of your interview. Don't ask questions that make it seem like you have concerns outside of becoming the best doctor you can be, such as asking what the meal allowance is, or are much better to ask a resident, like asking about the social lives of their residents outside of the practice. Come to your interview with questions that show you want to learn more about their program.
