Whenever I was interviewed by a physician, I always asked them why they chose their specialty.
 
I always asked what they thought was the strongest aspect of their school and what they thought needed the most improvement. It kind of caught everyone off guard and actually made THEM have to stop and think about an answer....it was nice to not be the only person caught off guard!

Also, you can kind of use this to gage how sincere they're being with you by their answer to the weakness question.
