What do you feel is an area of weakness that you would like to improve on during your time in pediatric dentistry residency?

"I am very confident coming out of dental school with my practice management skills as my program did a great job of preparing us for that. I feel that my only weakness heading into pediatric dentistry residency is the small nuances of a successful pediatric practice. My ultimate career goal is to open a pediatric practice in a large urban setting and I've read and heard wonderful things about your program that are going to prepare me for this."

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a future peds resident. Be candid in your answer, acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure to have an action plan in place for improving this weakness. However you answer, don't be afraid to be frank with your interviewing team to show your honesty.
