The interviewers want to hear what you think makes an excellent pediatrician, as you will most likely name traits you possess yourself. Outstanding pediatricians are patient, compassionate, kind, empathetic, and dedicated. They are committed to their profession and have exceptional critical thinking and communication skills. Describe what you believe are the top qualities that will help you succeed in this field and make you an excellent pediatrician.

"I believe many qualities make an excellent pediatrician. You must be compassionate, patient, and dedicated to working in this field. It takes time to complete many years of training, and when done, pediatricians must take the time to listen to their patients' caregivers while providing compassionate care. Excellent pediatricians also have analytical and critical-thinking skills, which help diagnose and treat highly complex disorders. I possess these skills and know they will help me succeed as a pediatrician."
