As a new pediatric dentistry resident, would you be able to handle direct patient care with little supervision?

"I feel confident in my ability to work with any pediatric patient without someone watching over my shoulder. With that said, I also want every interaction with a patient to be a learning opportunity, and I know your faculty has an excellent reputation for providing those opportunities to blossoming pediatric dentistry residents"

Prove your ability to work confidently with little supervision while not being overconfident. As a pediatric dentistry resident, your work with patients will be scrutinized and used as a learning opportunity, so let your interviewers know that you are aware of that. Speak with modest confidence in your ability to work with patients with little to no supervision.
