Most PM&R residency programs will have a detailed description on their website stating what is involved with the program, clinical rotations, the primary teaching site, accredited length of training, the residency directors, mentoring, and more. The interviewers want to see that you have researched their program and do not want to answer questions you could have found on their website, showing a lack of attention to detail. Many interviewers also report that they enjoy it when an applicant asks questions and engages in the conversation instead of treating the interview as an interrogation. Good questions to ask are what your first week would look like if accepted into the program and if any of the interviewers have suggestions for you to succeed in the program.

"After reading your detailed website and speaking with many of your fellows and residents, most of my questions were answered. I do have a few questions, though. What type of practices are most of your graduates going into after their residency? What type of feedback are you receiving from your graduates? Finally, what would you describe as your program's strengths?"
