Most physicians find more pros than cons to working as a doctor. However, there are some, such as long hours, being on call, rules and regulations, dealing with insurance companies, and rude patients. The interviewers want to hear what you like the least about being a physician to learn more about your personality. Be sure you briefly say what you like least, then end on a positive note by explaining how the good aspects of being a physician outweigh the bad.

"My least favorite part of working as a physician is the sacrifices my family has to make when I am working long hours and on holidays. However, I discussed the challenges we would face as a family before going to medical school, and they understood and supported me. We have developed a plan to celebrate holidays and birthdays on my day off before the event, so we don't miss out on spending time together as a family."
