As a new resident with our program, how will you earn the trust of your new colleagues?

"I feel the best way to earn the trust of my resident colleagues and your faculty is to be helpful, always do what I promise, and be honest with them at all times. I also earn trust by showing respect, actively listening, and getting to know my colleagues and their families. Strong relationships have to be built on these principles, and I pride myself on my ability to do this."

Talk to the interviewers about how you plan to earn the trust of your new colleagues. Give examples of how you've done this in the past and why you must do so. Describe how you earned the trust of your coworkers by getting to know them and their families, keeping your word when you say you are going to do something, lending a hand when others need help, or covering a coworker's shift when they have a family emergency.
