It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments on your path to becoming an orthopedic surgeon. Talking about your most significant achievement will give the interviewers an idea of where you place your values. It will also show the interviewers more about your personality, how you like to be motivated, and how to coach you in the future.

"My greatest achievement so far was completing medical school with a newly adopted child. My sister died when I was in my second year of medical school, and she left behind my three-month-old niece. There was no one else to take care of her, and she would have gone into foster care. I underwent the adoption process and was allowed to adopt her six months later. I completed medical school despite the challenge of having a young child, and I feel it made me stronger and more responsible."
