Take a minute to talk about the leadership skills you would bring to our medical genetics residency program. Why do you feel these skills will lead to your success here?

"As a leader in the clinic setting as an internal medicine resident, I've been commended for my ability to be a democratic leader who likes to get input from others on a big decision. But when necessary, I also can grab the bull by the horns and make difficult decisions for the group. As a medical genetics resident, my ability to motivate others through my actions and challenge others to do their best will be very beneficial in helping to blend research into clinical practice with your team."

Discuss the leadership qualities you will bring to the table as a medical genetics resident in their program. Consider discussing your communication skills, adaptability, respectful approach, and tactical ability to solve problems in a team setting. If possible, sneak in some words on why being a natural leader is necessary for clinical geneticists.
