Tell us what your days will look like as a general surgery resident.

Every specialty will have a slightly different day in a resident's life. The interviewers want to see that you have done your homework and understand your daily life as a general surgery resident. Some programs describe what a resident's day looks like on their website. If the program you applied to does not have that information, speak with former or current fellows and residents or visit the university or medical center and talk to staff. It would be best if you understood what your day entails before starting the program, so there are no surprises.
