It is common for interviewers to ask what outside interests you have when not working or going to school. They want to hear about your favorite fun activity to see you know how to destress from your job as a physician, showing a healthy work/life balance. Describe your favorite thing to do for fun and explain why you enjoy that activity.

"My favorite fun activity is white-water kayaking. I live 5 miles from a river and go kayaking as much as possible. It's a great adrenaline rush and a way to stay in shape. When I'm on the water, all I can think about is what I'm doing and how the river is flowing. There is no time to think about life's stressors as the river is very dynamic. After spending time on the river, I feel much more peaceful, happy, and ready to take on anything."
