Dr. Ding, an interventional radiologist, was interviewed by the American Medical Association and asked about the top strengths needed to succeed as an interventional radiologist. He said anatomic understanding, manual dexterity, and procedural planning and execution are the main skills every physician training in interventional radiology should have. The interviewers ask this question to see if you have the characteristics and qualities they seek in a resident. They want to hear that you are self-aware and confident enough to identify and describe your strengths. Think of three strengths or skills that will help you succeed as a resident and bring value to the interventional radiology residency program. Some other traits that will make you stand out as a candidate include the following:
- Creative
- Strong work ethic
- Leadership
- Teamwork
- Communication
- Diligence
- Problem-solving
After listing your three skills or strengths, give examples of how they will help you succeed as a resident.

I look forward to working with mentors to train me further as an interventional radiologist. I actively listen to my patients, mentors, and colleagues, which earns their respect and trust. I always arrive early to work and do tasks before I am told. I actively seek ways to help others and look forward to bringing these strengths to your program as a resident."
