Practise explaining the clinical decisions, patient conversations and career experiences that matter in Family Medicine—then handle follow-ups that ask for evidence behind your first answer.

1. 01

   How do you understand the concept of the 'Patient-Centered Medical Home' and how does it align with your vision for your future practice?

2. 02

   You are performing a prenatal visit for a pregnant patient who is G1P0, at 10 weeks gestation; what key counseling points do you cover in this early visit?

3. 03

   During your inpatient rotation as a Family Medicine resident, you notice a systemic issue affecting patient handoffs between the night and day teams; what steps would you take?

4. 04

   You are covering the Family Medicine inpatient service and a patient who you have known for years in clinic requests that you not involve their next-of-kin in end-of-life decisions, despite them being listed as DPOA; how do you proceed?

5. 05

   What do you see as the biggest current challenge or trend in Family Medicine research, and how do you think it will impact future practice?

6. 06

   Given our focus on serving a specific local community, how do you see yourself contributing to and learning from this patient demographic during your training?
