As a new trainee in a Dermatology residency program, you will be expected to jump in and help lead a care team. Throughout your four years in the program, this can include leading nurses, mid-level providers, scheduling staff, and administrative staff. As your interviewers consider many well-educated and well-qualified students for their program, their decision may come down to who has the best leadership capabilities.

"If I were to join your Dermatology residency program, it wouldn't take you long to see that I am a natural leader that promotes and fosters open lines of communication, treats others with respect, and thrives on leading by example. This is best exemplified by my three years as my college baseball team's captain. I loved being the leader that unified our team when things weren't going well and lifted the team to victory. This leadership style would carry over well to Dermatology residency training."
