What do you feel is your greatest non-medical strength you can bring to our Emergency Medicine Residency?

Your answer to this question could include soft skills such as empathy, charity, integrity, and consistency. Tell a brief anecdote that demonstrates why you find this strength important for a future practice in Emergency Medicine. Be sure that your answer is well thought out and speak with a passion to impress your team of interviewers.

"I was drawn to emergency medicine because of my innate ability to rise above stressful situations and think with a clear and focused mind. I thrive in a fast-paced environment where each decision is critical, and this was evident in my success in rotations in emergency medicine, critical care, and urgent care. If I am fortunate enough to match into your program, you will quickly see that I am ready and able to handle any situation thrown my way with a calm and level head."

"One of my biggest strengths is my ability to be calm, cool and collected during stressful situations. I think this will come in handy during training."

"I am a natural leader and would look forward to an opportunity to take the lead on resident-led initiatives within the program. In the past, I have always been one to work to build solutions to problems or opportunities instead of simply pointing them out."
