Generally not stressful, possibly even fun. Here are some questions I remember:
Why emergency medicine? What would you do if you didn’t match? Tell me a joke. What phrase do you live by? Why are you interested in our program? Where do you see yourself in ten years? If you could have one material good in your casket when you die, what would it be? What area of EM research are you interested in? If you couldn’t be a doctor, what would you be? If you couldn’t do EM, what specialty would you do? What was your favorite and your least favorite clinical rotation third year? Tell me about a time when you failed. What is going to be your biggest challenge when working in the Emergency Department? How are you going to choose your residency program—what criteria are the most important? If the attending told you to do something you knew was wrong, then what would you do? If you are really interested in this program, then why did you not choose to rotate here? What characteristics make a good intern? What procedures are you uncomfortable with? Do you want to do a fellowship? What do you do in your free time? Where else are you interviewing? What do your parents do? If you are so interested in research, then why did you choose Emergency Medicine? Which EM programs do you consider to be top programs? Do you have any problems leaving work at work? Where do you want to work after residency? What do you do with stress? What can you add to our program? Do you speak Spanish? Is there anything about our program that concerns you? Did you go to the social last night? If you had to listen to the same CD over and over on a car trip across the United States, what would it be? Your background is not typical, how did you end up in med school? Tell me about [insert some work experience on application]. In your personal statement, you mention …., tell me more about that. What attribute makes you most suitable for EM practice? Tell me how you resolved a difficult situation during a third year clerkship. What has been the hardest part of medical school? What have you learned about yourself during the interview process? What am I going to say about you at residency graduation? What music do you want to listen to (during the interview)? Do you prefer a 3 or 4 year program? What motivates you? How many interviews are you doing? Has this process been what you thought it would be like? Do you have any questions for me?
