The residency interview questions are two types: the general/social questions and the specialty specific questions. The interview is extremely important in your matching process. It will determine how high you will be ranked in the residency program director order list. We gathered the questions specific to every specialty and we observed how it affected the match outcome based on feedback from thousands of applicants we helped over the past 10 years. These questions with the ideal answers are posted in separate specialty-specific booklets. These high yield points must be mastered by any residency seeker especially competitive specialties. In general the questions included in these booklets are divided into:
A- General questions you might be asked with sample answers.
B- Specialty/Medical questions you might be asked with answers.
C- Questions to be asked to the program directors and faculty.
D- Questions to be asked to the Chief residents and residents.
Answering these important questions and asking the appropriate questions will:
1- Give the program director and faculty a positive impression about you.
2- The more correct answers you have, the higher will be your rank in the NRMP match algorithm.
3- It will give the faculty a good impression about your medical knowledge background and hence will minimize the unnecessary further meticulous search in your profile.
4- The chief residents in turn will also recommend you to be ranked high when they do the ranking session with the faculty.
