Have you put any thought into the elective rotations you would like to pursue during your Family Medicine Residency training?

Show your interviewers that you have a calculated plan for your training with their program that will set you up for success after your time with their program. Before your interview, be sure to read through the curriculum requirements and electives for the program you are interviewing with. They can be found on the program's website. Come to your interview prepared to describe your ideal path for training.

"Yes, I have put some thought into this, and my ideal elective rotations have led me to have your program. I would love to spend the majority of my elective time in geriatrics, hospice, palliative medicine, and urgent care. Working with the elderly and end-of-life care has always interested me, and I'd love to focus part of my future practice in these areas."

"Yes, I think a pediatrics rotation, gynecology rotation, and infectious disease rotation could be very helpful elective rotations. Ophthalmology is another rotation that would come in handy."
