Your interviewers know that every candidate has areas for improvement. They want to know you are cognizant of your weaknesses and that you have a plan in place to overcome those weaknesses.

Put some thought into aspects of your practice that could use improvement so you attend the interview prepared to discuss this topic. If it is a clinical weakness, discuss why you feel it is a weakness and explain how you will improve in this area. If your weakness is a soft skill, elaborate on the steps you have taken and will continue to take to get better in this area.

"I would say that my weakness is having limited experience with the hands-on procedures I know I have to learn and master as an aspiring pulmonologist. While I did get experience training in bronchoscopies and tracheostomies during residency, I'm looking forward to hands-on training in performing lung biopsies, foreign body removals, and pleurodesis."
