Advice and answer examples written specifically for a General Surgery Residency job interview.
2. Do you have any questions about our residency program?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Most residency programs will have a detailed description on their website stating what is involved with the program, clinical rotations, the primary teaching site, accredited length of training, the residency directors, mentoring, and more. The interviewers want to see that you have researched their program and do not want to answer questions you could have found on their website, showing a lack of attention to detail. Good questions to ask are where your rotations would take place, how large the facility is and the types of patients served, or if there are opportunities to attend scientific meetings.

Answer Example
"After reading your detailed website and speaking with many of your fellows and residents, most of my questions were answered. I do have a few questions, though. What type of practices are most of your graduates going into after their residency? What type of educational resources are available? Finally, what would you describe as your program's strengths?"
