As a campus-wide leader in medical education, most residency program directors are expected to be involved in enterprise-wide committees. These can include graduate medical education-related committees, curriculum committees, and other various clinical practice committees. You might have some of this experience listed on your CV, but your interview team is looking to hear that you are always willing and ready to be a leader on various committees as part of their faculty. Take the time to walk through your committee participation experience and highlight why you were a valued member of those committees. This is also a great time to ask any clarifying questions you may have on what the expectations will be for this position.

"I've always found it important to be an active participant on relevant committees. The work I've been a part of over my career on infection control committees, quality management, and ethics committees has involved work that makes care better for every patient that comes through the clinic doors and made the workplace much better for all staff. The committee role I'm most proud of is being part of my institution's personnel committee. I'm currently the vice-chair of this committee and we do important work in reviewing new candidates for offers, promotions, and new appointments. We also approve employee resignations and retirement dates. I'd love to hear more about the committees that the person hired as your next residency program director will be participating in."
