Some students enter the transitional year residency because the specialty residency program they are pursuing requires it. However, other students are still determining the specialty they would like to work in, so they use the transitional year residency to be exposed to the different specialties and help make their decision. The interviewers are curious if you have chosen a specific specialty or are still deciding at this point. If you have decided, describe what specialty you are pursuing and why. If unsure, explain what you think you will find most interesting during your transitional year residency.
