Many preventive medicine residency programs in the United States require applicants to have completed at least one year (PGY-1) of postgraduate clinical training within a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The interviewers ask this question to see if you meet their requirements and understand what interests you in medicine. Describe any residency you have completed before applying to the preventive medicine residency program.

"Yes, I have one year of clinical training experience in internal medicine through the New York Medical College. During that year, I was exposed to preventive medicine and found it extremely interesting, so I shifted my focus and career path and eventually want to work in public health and epidemiology."
