Is there anything we haven't covered during your interview that you would like to ask about?
Medical genetics residency programs can vary greatly, both in their curriculum and the structure of how their program combines with other programs. The faculty want to ensure that you don't walk away with any questions unanswered. Asking intelligent questions during your medical genetics residency interviews will demonstrate to your interviewers that you have a deep interest in their institution and residency program.
"Thank you for asking! I know you offer combined pediatric and internal medicine medical genetics residency paths. Do you have current residents going through the two-year specific program after graduating from a primary care residency? I'm also curious about where your program's graduates practice after training. Can you talk more about where your recent graduates are finding success in their careers in practice?"
Before your medical genetics residency interview, research the institution and thoroughly review the program description for any clarification you may need about becoming a resident in this program. If the program offers multiple paths for its medical genetics residents, now is a great time to get clarification on the best track for you. If you are not prepared for the interview, and you need to think of questions off the top of your head, ask questions regarding their culture, the traits they are looking for in the ideal candidate, and if there are any responsibilities of this position not listed on the role description.
