Before your pathology residency interview, think about your strengths when it comes to communicating. Come to your interview prepared to discuss what makes you great at communicating with patients, colleagues, and support staff. More importantly, explain why solid communication skills are vital for any resident and future pathologist in practice.

"My communication skills always focus on being clear and concise. I treat every conversation with the utmost respect, no matter the nature of the communication. As a pathology resident, my colleagues and patients will expect my communications to be thoughtful, informative, and accurate. I've also been commended for my written communication skills in charting and communicating about patients with the entire care team. I would always prioritize communication as a resident with your program."
