Every residency program will have challenges. Finances, work/life balance, relocation, time management, research, studying, and patient care, to name a few. The interviewers want to see that you are proactive and have identified what will be most challenging and decided how to overcome the challenge. Describe what will be the most difficult part of your residency and what you plan to do about it.

"My greatest challenge will be relocating to a new city and not knowing anyone. I went to medical school in my hometown and knew many of my classmates, professors, and hospital staff. Both of my parents work in the medical field, and they introduced me to many healthcare professionals when I was growing up. However, while moving to a new place where I do not know anyone will be challenging, I look forward to making new friends and memories. I bought a guidebook on the city and plan to explore by bicycle when I have downtime. Also, with technology, I can stay in contact with my friends and family back home while doing my residency."
