Before your interview, research the mission, vision, and values of the institution you will be interviewing with. Reviewing these should give you a good sense of the type of organization they are and what they look for in their future trainees. Think about a stand-out accomplishment that will resonate with your team of interviewers. Choose an achievement related to the successes you hope to see as a resident in their program. Explain why the accomplishment means so much to you personally and professionally. Assure the interviewers that you will continue this pattern of achievement as a resident with their program.

"My greatest accomplishment was matriculating into medical school. I've wanted to become a physician since I was a little boy and worked very hard throughout high school and college, often spending my free time studying or volunteering in the community. Medical school admission was the culmination of academic excellence, continued community service, and determination. I look forward to accomplishing more of my personal goals in the future as a Radiation Oncologist!"
