As an ophthalmologist, you must be detail-oriented. You will be responsible for giving appropriate treatment and medications to patients and accurately monitoring and recording vital information related to patient care. You will also work with sharp, precise tools, and mistakes can have serious consequences. The interviewers want to hear that you pay attention to detail to see that you will be an excellent addition to their residency program and as a future ophthalmologist.

"Yes, I am very detail-oriented. I am so much so that my college professor asked me to work as his assistant correcting and filing papers and inputting data into spreadsheets. I have a letter of recommendation from him highlighting my attention to detail if you would like a copy for your records."
