Interviews are residency programs’ opportunities to gauge how well you align with their program and whether you can be successful in it. And while the program is interviewing you, it's every bit as important you interview the program(s) too, as interviews are your opportunity to see how compatible each training program is with your personal goals, values, and expectations. After all, at the end of this process, you’ll be choosing a program and location where you'll spend the next several years. The AAMC’s hope for you is that you walk away from the interview trail confident in your knowledge of how happy and successful you’d be at any given program, so you can make an informed decision about which program and specialty is best for you.
