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.

"In my current practice, I sit on several hospital committees and love to take on the challenge and importance of improving processes and, in the end, patient care. This is on top of the already heavy administrative work of patient documentation, scheduling, and other tasks. I love the generation of reporting for the committees, reviewing and rewriting policies, and the many other things we tackle as part of this work. I know that the administrative work of a residency program director is important, especially when it comes to ACGME requirements and providing a learning environment for residents. These are duties I will always take seriously in this role."
