"If I could describe my personality to you in three words, I would say that I am compassionate, intelligent, and fluid. My personality is well suited for the cardiovascular care environment as my patients' well-being is always at the top of my mind. My intelligence will carry me through my fellowship and into my career as a physician focused on both clinical care and translational research. My ability to adapt and change with any situation sets me apart from most people because I thrive in environments where things don't remain constant every day."

Since you only have three words, make sure the words that you use will make a lasting impact on your interviewers. Some possible words to use include adaptable, brave, compassionate, respectful, helpful, positive, thoughtful, and versatile. As you prepare for a question like this, try to avoid giving the same answer other candidates give. Explain your reasons for choosing these words to describe yourself.
