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 include asking what your first week would look like if accepted and if any interviewers have suggestions for you to succeed in the program.

"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 feedback are you receiving from your graduates? Finally, what would you describe as your program's strengths?"
"Absolutely. I noticed that your interventional radiology department is quite large and residents perform many procedures throughout their time here. Is there a dedicated IR clinic to gain experience triaging patients prior to the procedures, as well as one to follow patients afterward?
Different institutions allocate different procedures to different surgical specialties. I am interested in kyphoplasties and neurological procedures. Does the IR department perform these at this institution?"
