whether the candidate's actual day-to-day experience matches the breadth of coordination work this role requires

analytical and reporting skills needed for internal reviews and leadership meetings

Technical

What do you know about the ACGME due process and remediation process, or something equivalent from another accrediting body you've worked with?

depth of actual regulatory knowledge versus surface familiarity

Which of these are you comfortable working with: ERAS, NRMP, ECFMG, or similar systems for other professions like NMS or APPIC?

What's your experience with physician scheduling software or similar systems, and how comfortable are you learning a new platform on the job?

technical adaptability and specific tool exposure relevant to daily scheduling tasks

Situational

Say you're building a rotation schedule and two faculty members both need coverage on the same days, and a resident is asking for a change that would put the program out of compliance with duty hour rules. How do you handle it?

ability to balance competing scheduling demands against hard compliance constraints

How would you go about preparing materials for an accreditation self-study or site visit if you'd never done one before?

resourcefulness and ability to learn a high-stakes, unfamiliar process quickly

A resident comes to you frustrated about their rotation schedule and says it's unfair compared to their peers. What do you say and do?

interpersonal skill in de-escalating concerns from learners while staying within program policy

If a program director asked you to help set selection criteria for matching candidates using national trends and benchmarks, how would you approach that?

ability to bring data and judgment to recruitment decisions, not just administrative execution

You're juggling a scheduling deadline, an accreditation report due to leadership, and three residents emailing you with questions. How do you decide what gets your attention first?
