During my interview I discussed a specific case I had seen with my interviewer. I described the photo and I think the interviewer would like to see it based on how I described it. Can I attached an unidentified photo of the case we discussed. It's basically an ultrasound. What are your thoughts?

No, don’t send a photo of a patient’s tests or records, even with no name attached.
Why did you keep a photo of someone's ultrasound? Unless it's yours you have no rights to distribute it

it was in a case report!!! with consent

I think it would be odd. If you send a thank you note to the interviewer, it’s not another chance to show off your case report, but should just be a thank you note with maybe 1 line about why you really like that school

Send the citation to the case report, if it means that much to you. That will tell the interviewer more about you and it will either work in your favor or against you. You pay your money and you take your chances.

First, is this YOUR patient?

Second, did you publish the case report? (I agree with LizzyM: if so, send the DOI/citation.)

Third, was there consent for you to discuss a case in an interview vs. in an open forum? It seems rather unprofessional to benefit from someone else's benevolence (for the advancement of health).

Do not do this. Seriously, do not do this

What do you recommend we say when they ask us about a memorable case. Im not benefiting from their benevolence. The relationship I made with the patient over the months had an impact on me

Thank you for this. After consideration I will not be including this information.

I am reminded of an aphorism that a dear mentor of mine, of blessed memory, used to say, "liquor stores have cases, physicians have patients." A relationship should not be boiled down to an MRI that is shared with the curious.

I am going to keep this with me going forward. Thank you

It's one thing to answer a question like, "Tell me about a time when you hurt someone." It doesn't mean we want to see the wounds/scars on a follow-up. (@LizzyM 's aphorism is better.)

You tell the truth
