What is something important that you learned during your clinical residency?
"It has been quite some time since my clinical residency. I think the most important lesson I learned was that building strong relationships is crucial to giving good patient care. When people can work well with their peers, that is reflected in the care that is given to patients who trust us with their care."
The interviewer is not necessarily looking for something that you learned about neurology. This can be anything that you feel is important. Some suggestions might be that you learned how to provide excellent patient care, you learned how to listen actively, or that you learned that keeping current on technology is essential in this profession.
"I learned to let go of the burden of being all-knowing in my field. I do not need to know everything, nor can I. It is more important that I'm honest about my limitations and rely instead on my ability to research and involve my colleagues. I also try to stay connected with changes in healthcare. This makes me a better provider."
