As you are likely applying to and interviewing with programs all over the country, your interviewers need to know that you are willing to relocate for their program. As they review your history and the locations of your medical school and General Surgery residency training, they'll learn if this move will be a culture shock to you, but they want to hear that it won't be.

"I have no concerns about relocating to join your reputable Surgical Oncology program. As you can see from my CV, I spent my four years of medical school training on the upper east coast and loved it there. My family is also very partial to the area; we were married here, and our first child was born here. We see it as a great place to land following fellowship training."

If you have lived or visited the city or adjacent cities of the program you are interviewing with, you should mention this. If you know anyone there, talk about the good things they have told you. If it is an unfamiliar city/region, pick traits unique to the city that intrigue you and explain why an applicant may be open to living in the area. Ensure that your interviewers understand that you have done your homework on the city and can see yourself thriving there during your training in their Surgical Oncology fellowship program.

Not at all, I've changed to 6 apartments in 5 different cities in two different countries since the beginning of my medical school, I really love this kind of challenge. It is always a bit complicated at the beginning but with time and patience it always becomes a fantastic new adventure
Jaymie's Feedback
You did a great job reassuring the interviewer that you are mobile and can adapt well to changes in geography and the environment. Your answer also demonstrates your ability to embrace change and your commitment to the program.

As demonstrated by my CV, I have already completed 4 months of elective surgical training at the University of Toronto. I have really enjoyed my time here to date, and have a well-developed support group in the area. I previously moved to Montreal to complete a 2-year M.Sc program and welcome another opportunity to live in another province to absorb new cultures and experiences during my training.
