The interviewers want to see if you dug deep when researching their residency program. Many students will review the residency requirements and program curriculum but often do not dig into the program's philosophy. The interviewers want to see if you know what they stand for and how they support their students, residents, and fellows.

"Your program's philosophy is what made me choose your program over others. You lay it out very clearly that your students, residents, and fellows' success is your driving factor in providing diverse exposure to the field of rehabilitation medicine. Your philosophy is to encourage self-motivation, provide adequate time for self-directed learning, and inspire lifelong learning while providing patient-centered care. I want to be a resident in a program with values and philosophies similar to mine, and I look forward to the opportunity to match with your program."
