QUESTION 7 OF 30

What do you know about our institution, and why do you feel this setting would be a great environment for you?

Each match season, your interviewers consider many great applicants to join their program. A question like this is an opportunity for you to stand out. If you are lucky enough to land an interview, make some effort to research the school. You don't need to be an expert on their entire history, but you need to be knowledgeable about their programs, culture, and recent accolades and display that this environment is the right one for you in the coming four to six years.

"The things that stood out about your program and institution are that you have always been on the cutting edge of technology and value a great mix of the patient, research, and service to your patients. From what I've read, learned today from you, and talked about with a couple of your current residents, I see myself thriving here as an oral surgery resident."

Start by searching the school's website before your oral surgery residency interview and take special note of any recent news articles, events, or contributions they have made to the community or student body. Identify their mission and values so you know what they stand for. In the end, ensure that your interviewers walk away from your time together knowing that you see their program as an excellent fit for you.
