You need to realize that your interviewers are considering a great pool of medical students for their program. If you end up being one of their top candidates, they want to ensure that you walk away from your interview with all of your questions answered to ensure that you will be ranking their program at the top of your list.

"I have several questions. Can you tell me about research opportunities for hematology/oncology, as that is a field I am interested in pursuing after residency and one that emphasizes research? Does the hematology/oncology fellowship program at this hospital favor residents from this internal medicine residency, as I would like to stay here long term?"

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 (e.g. asking what the meal allowance is) or are much better to ask a resident (e.g. 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.
"How would you describe the culture of your program? What specialties have your current residents matched into? What do you do to prepare your residents for the Internal Medicine board exam?"

Marcie's Feedback
Great questions! Having at least two or three thoughtful questions lined up and ready for the interviewer is perfect. This way they know that you've already done your research but are also curious and intelligent. Don't forget to thank them at the beginning of your response for the opportunity to ask some questions. (Good manners never hurt!) Excellent job.
