"I follow a few resources online for up-to-date information on the medical industry. My favorites right now are the medical blog, 'Uncommon Student MD,' a blog created by student doctors in medical school and residency. The other resource I read regularly is 'Health Data Management' online. I've already joined the AAFP and plan to attend the national conference during my residency training. I've also spent a lot of time reading the North American Primary Care Research Group studies recently."

Talk about a couple of your favorite resources you use to stay on top of medical industry trends. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers if they have any recommendations for you. This can start a conversation that will be helpful to you! Before your interview, look into Family Medicine groups, journals, and publications so you can speak knowledgeably about them during your interview.
"I plan on staying up to date to be the best physician I can be. I plan on attending yearly conferences and reading multiple medical journals to stay up to date."
