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.
