Bedside manner is a physician's approach or attitude toward a patient. The interviewers ask this question to determine if you have the qualities they seek in a resident. The interviewers want to hear that you are kind, patient, friendly, compassionate, and caring. Now is the time to describe how you treat all patients with respect, empathy, kindness, and compassion.

"I would describe my bedside manner as nurturing, comforting, patient, and caring. I approach all patients the same. I introduce myself, ask their name, and what I can do for them. I take the time to actively listen to their concerns, showing them I care about them and want to help them. I believe all healthcare professionals should treat patients the way they want others to treat themselves or loved ones."

Dr. Rodman

"My bedside manner is compassionate but direct. I am very open with patients regarding disease prognosis, procedural side effects, and what to except after an intervention. I have found that this is a great way to gain a patient's trust, as well as earn respect from colleagues."
