S01E11 - Questions about you, your future goals, and your chosen profession
Manage episode 160951417 series 1049286
In the next three episodes I want to help break down some of the most common questions you will experience on the interview trail, as well as some uncommon and even illegal ones. Dr. Mike Olson and I will discuss what we think the “question behind the question” is, and what programs are looking for in an answer.
In this episode, we will discuss questions about you, questions about your future goals, and questions about the field you are applying to.
Questions about you. For example:
- Tell me a little bit about yourself.
- Who would you say “you” are?
- How would your friends describe you?
- How do you spend your free time?
Questions about your future goals. For example:
- Why do you want to be an emergency physician?
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- What does the ideal residency look like to you?
- What are your post graduation plans?
Questions about your chosen profession. For example:
- Which personality traits do you have that will make you a successful surgeon?
- Who inspired your interest in Urology?
- Where do you see the field of pediatrics in 10 years?
