The interviewers would like to learn more about you as a person. While you cannot share everything about your personal life and accomplishments on your CV, there must be something you are proud of that you would like to share. If possible, share something about yourself that shows the interviewers you would be a good fit for the residency program. For example, if you share that you compete in marathons, the interviewers will see that you are dedicated and diligent, both essential qualities for residents to possess.

"Something I am proud of that is not on my CV is how I volunteer with an NGO that helps children in developing countries who suffer from tropical diseases. I have taken on a managerial role, organizing and producing fundraising events. In the past three years in this role, I have helped raise over three million dollars with my strategic marketing plan. The money is used for teams of physicians and nurses to go to the communities that need help, and the children are offered free care and treatment. After my residency, I will be a part of the team that goes and provides pediatric medical care, which I am really looking forward to."
