Because coordination of care for cancer patients helps align treatment goals and actions, patient-centered communication is vital for the residents of any Radiation Oncology program. Your interviewers want to know that you would join their program as a great communicator, so they ask this question in hopes that you will explain your strengths in communicating both written and verbally.

Before your Radiation Oncology residency interview, think about your strengths when it comes to communicating. Come to your interview prepared to discuss what makes you great at communicating with patients, colleagues, and support staff. More importantly, reiterate why solid communication skills are vital for any resident and future Radiation Oncologist.

"My communication skills always focus on education and compassion. I treat every conversation with the utmost respect, no matter the nature of the communication. As a Radiation Oncology resident, my colleagues and patients expect my communications to be thoughtful, informative, and compassionate. I've also been commended for my written communication skills, both in patient charting and communicating about patients with the entire care team. I would always prioritize communication as a resident with your program."
