Interview Prep: Questions to ask

[rolen05]

Hello everyone,

I thought it would be helpful if we list questions that should be asked during our interview, either to the PD or those interviewing us or to the residents. Just list whatever you can think of. Some off the top of my head (if they aren't listed on their website):

What is your boards pass rate?
Do you have a boards review plan?
How often do you rotate from medicine to pediatrics?
Do you have dedicated med-peds conferences? How often?
How many of your graduates go into subspecialties? Where do they match?
What is your resident attrition rate?
What is the adult/peds breakdown of the continuity clinic?

Resident Questions:
1. Do you feel behind the categorical residents at all?
2. If you could re-do the match process would you still want to match at this program?
3. Do you feel supported by the administration?
4. What drew you to this program?

PD Questions:
1. Do you envision any changes in the curriculum in the near future?
2. How do the categorical programs view the med-peds program?
3. Do most of your residents end up practicing med-peds or choose medicine or pediatrics?
