Hi. Does anyone know of sites/threads/first hand experience where one can find questions typically asked in surgical residency interviews?
Thanks.

Hmmm...probably here. Have you tried doing a search for interviews on SDN?
If you have and haven't found anything, I"m not sure that typical questions extends beyond...
"tell me about yourself"
"why do you want to be a surgeon"
"tell me about this research you did during medical school"
"could you live in ____ (name city X)?"
"how do you feel about the work hour restrictions?" ( a Catch-22 question, if there ever was one).
"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"
"Why do you want to come here?"
I'm going to add in the zinger I got right out of the box last year on my first interview, "Why General Surgery? And, as a woman, how do you feel about the demands of time especially if you have other obligations like a family?"
True story.
At my fellowship interviews last year one interview started with:
"if you could be any kind of flower, what kind would you be and why".
Isn't that the stupidest question you've ever heard??

I would be the roses in a prom corsage so that years after I had given off my last waft of dusky scent, I would be preserved in my faded beauty, nestled against some baby's breath, amongst an elderly woman's most cherished memories.
