True but if this is this case then who asked the trite question in the first place?
OP, I would recommend preparing responses to 5-10 of the most common interview questions and practicing. And what I mean by preparing responses is not writing out your answer and memorizing it, but maybe noting 2-4 bullet points you want to cover in your response that highlight strengths of your application, then practicing with a partner or in front of a mirror until it's natural. I know for me if I don't practice these responses then I have a tendency to give an over-thorough response that is a bit unclear rather than something that is succinct and conveys the narrative that I want to convey. I find that how this goes is that most often my interviewer and I will find a point of deeper discussion that we kind of go "off book" about (ie interviewer stops asking their prepared questions and I stop giving my prepared responses).
Other common interview questions:
What are your strengths/weaknesses?
Tell me about a challenge in your life.
Tell me about a particularly challenging (or memorable) patient.
Tell me about your research.
What questions do you have for me?
