QUESTION 20 OF 30

Who is your greatest supporter?

Going through a residency can be challenging for some. The interviewers ask this question to see that you have a support system when things become difficult. How you respond also shows the interviewers how you connect with others. Describe your greatest supporter and how they have supported you.

"My greatest supporter is my mother. She supported me as a single mom growing up, and she continues to support my decisions. She was very excited when I told her I wanted to go to medical school, and even more so now that I am pursuing my otolaryngology residency. She calls or texts me daily to see how I am doing and always asks about interesting cases I have seen. If I am having a particularly stressful day, she is always there to listen and offer advice."
