Residency programs want to know the career goals of their future residents to understand how they will want to customize their training during their residency. This is especially true in medical genetics training, where residents can combine programs with paths like pediatrics and internal medicine. Here, your interviewers ask directly what your ideal practice looks like to be able to customize your time in their program.

"My dream is to join a large academic practice where I can see pediatric patients in the outpatient and inpatient setting, focus on research and education, and work toward discovering new therapies for genetic disorders. Your program ranks at the top of my list because of your combined pediatric residency and the exposure your residents get to a large amount of research. This is a program that I'd love to be a part of to help kickstart my career."
