If you are called upon to interview for a coveted spot in a medical genetics residency program, your interviewers are confident in your clinical skills and education. Often, their choice of who to bring into their program comes down to who is the best fit for their culture and way of doing things. This question gives candidates a chance to discuss something unique about themselves that makes them a good fit for the program and the team.

"From a pretty young age, with the aid of my grandfather, I trained in the art of horology. He was a very successful grandfather clockmaker and watchmaker, and I continue this tradition today. I've combined my love for clock-making with woodworking and created several beautiful clocks over the last several years for family and friends. This hobby keeps me relaxed and centered outside of the clinic setting."

While you cannot share everything about your personal life and accomplishments on your CV, there must be something you are proud of that you would like to share. Share something about yourself that shows the interviewers you would be a good fit for their medical genetics program and team. For example, if you share that you compete in triathlons, the interviewers will see that you are dedicated and diligent, both essential qualities for medical genetics residents to possess.
