Residency interview questions for the 2026–2027 ERAS cycle. The AAMC publishes a free list of the questions programs ask, and most applicants never open it.
I’m an associate program director, so I sit on the other side of the interview table. I turned all 40 AAMC questions into a free Notion template with sample answers and an interview tracker for every program on your list.
What PDs are listening for:
→ “Tell me about yourself” is about your story, not a recap of your CV.
→ “Tell me about a mistake” is about what you changed afterward.
→ “Why this specialty?” needs a specific moment, not a general passion.
