The interviewer asks about your hobbies or interests outside of work. They are interested in learning more about what you like to do in your free time to better understand your personality and how you might fit into the company culture. They also want to see that you have a healthy work/life balance and know how to destress from your job as a Psychiatrist. It's always a good idea to have a few activities in mind to share, whether it's reading, hiking, playing sports, or anything else that you enjoy. Just be honest and authentic in your response, and try to tie your interests back to how they might relate to the job or the company's mission.
