Outside of medicine, what are your interests and hobbies that keep you busy?

"My hobbies include music, reading, and cooking. I grew up taking piano lessons and played several woodwind instruments in the band through college and still play when I have the time. I have a passion for fiction novels and find that reading is a perfect respite for me to keep my mind at ease."

Talk openly and honestly to the interviewers about the activities that interest you outside of the medical field. As you answer, talk about how these activities will be important in your life as a resident in their program to help keep you happy, healthy, and refreshed during your training. Keep in mind that as you answer, your interviewers will be getting to know you a bit better personally and how you will blend with their team of residents and faculty.
