Residency program directors bear a big responsibility for ACGME reporting on a regular basis and this work takes a significant amount of administrative time. While not fun, the work is necessary to maintain certification status. The team you are interviewing with needs to hear that you will always take this, and other administrative duties seriously, so they want to hear you discuss the admin duties you've held throughout your career. As you discuss your experience here, make sure to highlight how you always took this part of your job seriously and will continue to do so as program director with their institution.
