It is essential to nurture workplace relationships, as you will spend many hours with your colleagues during your career. Talk to the interviewers about how you plan to earn the trust of your new colleagues if matched to the residency.
Focus on giving examples from your past. Describe how you earned the trust of your coworkers or classmates by getting to know them and their families, keeping your word when you say you are going to do something, lending a hand when others need help, or covering a coworker's shift when they have a family emergency.

"The best way to earn the trust of my colleagues is to be helpful, always do what I promise, and be honest with them at all times. Strong relationships have to be built on these principles. I also will show them common courtesy, such as saying hello, asking how their day is going, getting to know about their families, and respecting the use of their time."
