The interviewers want to see that you have done your homework and understand your daily life as a PM&R resident. Some programs describe what a resident's day looks like on their website. If the program you applied to does not have that information, speak with former or current residents or visit the university or medical center and talk to staff and fellows. You should understand what your day entails before starting the program, so there are no surprises.

"After speaking with former residents and fellows of your program, I have a good understanding of the daily life of a resident. After the morning staff meeting, I will be assigned between 5-8 patients. I will review their charts, perform rounds on my patients, and develop daily plans with a senior resident. The afternoons are typically spent ordering tests, writing notes, and performing procedures. If I am on call, I will take the consult pager at 3:00 pm and see consults until 7:00 pm."
