What Programs Look For

The themes general surgery interviewers keep coming back to.

  • Resilience through demanding training
  • Speaking up for safety in the operating room
  • Recognizing a post-operative patient who is getting worse
  • How you practice and improve technical skills

Sample Questions

A few of the specialty questions you can practice in Confetto.

  • Why general surgery? What will keep you going through the hardest parts of training?
  • Tell me about a time you spoke up during a surgical time-out or safety check, or saw someone else do it.
  • Tell me about a post-operative patient whose condition changed. How did you recognize it, and whom did you call?
  • How do you practice and improve a technical skill? Give me a concrete example.
