Your interviewers know that having some interest in the city/region is very important for trainees. As they consider your candidacy to join their medical genetics residency program, they want to know that you are serious about your willingness to relocate away from current friends and family and focus on training in their program. This question will only apply if you will be relocating to join.

The goal when answering this question is to assure the interviewer that relocating will not be a problem for you. Knowing that family is a very important of the equation, don't hesitate to talk about your personal or family situation and the support you have to pursue this dream of yours.

"I am willing to relocate for my medical genetics residency training because I want to obtain excellent training at a program like yours. I've visited this region many times during my childhood as I have extended family in the region. My parents and siblings are excited for me about this opportunity as well because they'd look forward to traveling here regularly."
