Remember: You're Interviewing Them, Too (Part 2)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Don't be a suck-up. People indeed love to talk about themselves. But asking an interviewing physician: "What made you choose your field?" is something you do at a lunch mixer. The questions you ask during an interview session should relate to how you and the school will fit together. If you're going to ask three questions, ask at least two meaty ones. You want to include details in your questions that show that you've done your homework on the school. After your third program-related question, close outby asking if you can contact them with other questions in the future. And if the school is your top choice tell them right now. As we cover elsewhere in this guide, schools want to accept students who will definitely attend.
