Before your interview, think of what you consider the most intriguing and thought-provoking case of your residency training. These cases should pertain to the specialty you want to pursue. Take a few minutes to set the stage for the case, name a couple of points that intrigued you, and explain why. If you know the outcome of the case, discuss that briefly as well.

"The most intriguing case I was exposed to during my residency training was an infant who had been experiencing 15 days of daily fevers of 102 degrees. The child was three months old and was losing some weight during the sickness. The patient had been adopted just one month prior from overseas, which further complicated the case. This was a true learning opportunity. I had the opportunity to work with my attending on a physical exam, order numerous lab tests, and have an ID physician consult with the patient. With a rare diagnosis of typhoid fever, I had the opportunity to follow the treatment of the patient for 13 more days on the inpatient unit."
