What are your strengths and weaknesses? Where do you see yourself in ten years, after your residency? Do you have a standard ECFMG certificate? Do you have any medical research experience? What made you join medicine? From your CV, I notice that you are a foreign medical graduate. Why did you leave your country? Why did you decide to come to America? What made you choose this residency specialty (Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, Family practice, OB/GYN, Anesthesiology etc.)? Why did you choose this fellowship (Cardiology, GI etc.)? What were your USMLE scores? If you were asked to describe yourself in 3 words, what would they be? In your Curriculum Vitae (CV), there is a gap of 1 year. Why? How many residency interviews have you completed so far? As an international medical graduate (IMG), what differences do you see between the health care delivery systems of your country and America? What is your medical career plan? What do you do in your spare time? Have you completed all ECFMG requirements, to start a residency? What are your interests? Are you applying to any other residency specialty? How do you handle adversity? Why are your USMLE scores low? As an International medical graduate, what is your opinion about socialized health care? What is your most memorable patient encounter? Which residency programs have you interviewed at? Tell me about an interesting case you have seen? Tell me about yourself. Did you take any course to write the USMLE & CSA exams? What were your scores in your residency in-service exams? From your CV, I see that you are a foreign medical graduate. How well do you see yourself adapting to the American health system
