In asking this question, your team of interviewers wants to get to know you better. They also want to know that you will be able to strike a healthy balance during your training with them.

"My top priority outside of my residency training has been my family. My twin boys were born during my first year of residency and are growing at a rapid pace. We like to stay active with them. My other hobby is woodworking, and I've been a very avid woodworker since my high school days when my grandfather mentored me in the craft. I find crafting furniture so rewarding and mentally refreshing."
