The interviewers ask this question to determine if your strengths will complement and benefit the program and your role as a pediatric resident. Think of the personal strengths that make you excellent at your job. Advantages can be skills or qualities that help you overcome difficult circumstances or accomplish challenging tasks. In a work context, your strengths will help you stay organized, understand patient needs, and help you to apply what you have learned in your training. Talk to the interviewer about a couple of your strengths and why those will help you to be successful during your residency.

"My strengths are my thirst for knowledge, strong work ethic, and active listening skills. I look forward to working with attending physicians to train me further as a pediatrician. I actively listen to my patients and their caregivers, mentors, and colleagues, which earns their respect and trust. I always arrive early to work and do tasks before I am told. I actively seek ways to help others and look forward to bringing these strengths to your program as a resident."
