"I believe I could improve on my written and verbal communication skills as I tend to be too blunt. I have enrolled in a week-long workshop this summer to become a more eloquent communicator. I hope to gain skills in this workshop that I can continue to utilize during my time in your dental residency program."

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a future resident. Be candid in your answer, acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure to have an action plan in place for improving this weakness. However you answer, don't be afraid to be frank with your interviewing team to show your honesty.
