Great start, but I suggest adding some additional details here to deepen your response. What exactly doe this look like in your role? Do you strike up a conversation, share aspects of your own life, and take time to learn what your patients enjoy? How do you build rapport? If you're able to provide a specific example, that would be very helpful.
