Your interviewers pose this question for two reasons. First, they want to get a feel for how you will fit in with their PICU Fellowship program. They also want to hear how you view yourself. Notice they do not ask how others would describe you, but how YOU would describe yourself.

"I would say the three words that describe me best are genuine, determined, and loyal. What you see is what you get. I'm confident and comfortable in my skin, and my patients appreciate that. I'm also very driven to succeed as a Pediatrician and to provide the best care possible. My loyalty to my patients means going the extra mile for them and helping them find answers and treatments that are customized for them."

Since you only have three words, make sure the words that you use will make a lasting impact on your interviewers. Some possible words to use include adaptable, brave, compassionate, respectful, helpful, positive, thoughtful, and versatile. Avoid giving the same answer other candidates give. Explain your reasons for choosing these words.
