Residency program directors are often contacted years after a resident graduates from a program for employment verifications and references. Your team of interviewers wants their program on the map of the best programs, so they'll need to hear that you will always advocate for the residents who work under your leadership. This is a great time to talk about how you've written reviews and references for any medical students or residents you've worked with in the past.

"We live in such an interconnected and intertwined world in medicine and networking is often the best way that physicians find new and exciting opportunities to expand their careers. I will always be an advocate for the graduating and past residents of this incredible program by prioritizing employment verifications and reference requests when they come my way. Additionally, I will never hesitate to pick up the phone and call a department chief who is considering hiring a former resident. I know I will carry that responsibility to all who train here and I'm really looking forward to helping your residents achieve career success into the future."
