Patient-centered communication is vital for any medical genetics residency program, given that you will communicate complicated test results with patients and work closely with physicians from many other subspecialties. Your interviewers want to know that you would join their program as a great communicator.

Before your interview, think about your strengths when it comes to communicating. Come prepared to discuss what makes you great at communicating with patients, colleagues, and support staff. Stress why solid communication skills are vital to the overall success of any medical geneticist.
Sara Yumeen is a Dermatology resident physician.
"I understand that communication is critical during medical genetics residency training. I'll be communicating with my patients, attendings, and peers. I do my best to approach others with an open mind, and when offering my perspective, I take the time to hear the other person's opinions and thoughts. Patient education is vital in the genetics world, and I would come to your program with the ability to educate patients on complex topics. I like to talk openly with my patients, use language they understand, and fully explain all possible outcomes and options."
