Every pediatric residency program will have its own rotation schedule, which you most likely saw when researching the residency program. The interviewers ask this question to see where your interests lie in pediatric medicine and to see that you have thoroughly researched their residency program. Explain what rotation you most look forward to and why.

"I am looking forward to every rotation you offer, but the one I am most excited about is the newborn nursery rotation. I am particularly interested in that rotation as I assisted in five deliveries during medical school, and it was the most fantastic experience I have ever had. I love seeing the joy on the family's faces when they see their newborn and being able to witness their first bonding moments. I very much look forward to the newborn nursery rotation and am excited it's in the first two weeks of the residency program."
