Faculty of any medical residency program will be expected to provide both hands-on clinical training and classroom didactic training to residents. The program director has the responsibility of ensuring that the overall quality of the training residents receive meets and exceeds institutional and practice expectations. While they likely can see some of your experience by looking at your CV, your interviewers want to hear you talk about your experience in classroom lecturing. Talk about the experience you would bring to the table, including any current or prior academic ranks you've held.

"As I've progressed to the rank of professor with my current institution, I've had the pleasure of lecturing to both medical students in our medical school and to residents and fellows. My absolute favorite didactic courses to teach are Anatomy and Ethics in Medicine. But I want you to know that my knowledge base and experience will translate well to any classroom materials as your next program director. I've been able to adapt a lot in recent years with moves to a lot of online type courses and have found ways to keep students engaged and learning in this environment."
