Before your interview, think about your strengths when it comes to communicating. Come to your nuclear medicine residency interviews prepared to discuss what makes you great at communicating with patients, colleagues, and support staff. Stress why solid communication skills are vital for any resident and physician.

"Communication is critical during nuclear medicine residency, whether communicating with my patients, attendings, or peers. I do my best to approach others with an open mind, and when communicating my perspective, I also take the time to hear the other person's opinions and thoughts. I like to explain my thought process to give other's a full understanding and provide the opportunity for questions so that all parties can leave feeling that we are on the same page. I've also put a lot of work into perfecting my written communication skills throughout medical school and my residency training so far."
