Questions to ask Chairman/PD without sounding like a fool

Heading to a few research conferences in the coming weeks and might rub some elbows with some big whig derm faculty, including chairmen, during a poster presentation session.

Bottomline, I'd love to network/show interest in their program and get my foot/that tip wet a lil early when introducing myself to them. Besides the "hello, my name is Y, I'm from X school and applying to derm"....I'm unsure what are some fair-game questions to ask to ask Chairman/PD early on.

Obviously, there's no-no's (What's the resident's lifestyle, resident's salary/benefits, are transitional year's ok?!, how much cosmetic and procedural derm do you get to see?!) and perhaps google-able questions (hmm, what is your curriculum like, how many years is the residency)...so I'm kind of lost at what are reasonable questions to ask without giving a wrong impression to the Chairman/PD as to what one's underlying motives may be.

Errr....I would not ask questions like this (i.e. any questions about their specific residency program). Just have your PI introduce you around as my "star medical student applying in derm this upcoming cycle". Talk about your research. They'll probably be the ones asking you questions, if any, and it'll be about your research.

Just make sure you keep saying things like I want to get that tip wet, and you really can't go wrong. You'll soar to great heights, young eagle, where you can wet/whet your tip, beak, appetite, pants, wetever!

God bless, one love.
