The close-knit, family-based atmosphere of a residency program requires a leader who is relatable, respected, and a downright great person to be around. To gauge your overall fit with the program itself and the greater institution, your interview team gives you the chance to elaborate on who you are as a person. With a majority of the interview questions focusing on your professional experience and skills, now is the time to paint the full picture of who you are personally. Give a good overview of your interests outside of work, your personal/family life, and the values that you would bring to instill in the future physicians in your medical field.

"Thanks for the opportunity! Being from a small town in the heartland and raised in a community where hard work and honesty were valued, I was a first-generation college student who was inspired by our family practitioner to pursue a career in medicine. I met my amazing wife when we were in medical school together and we've spent the last 15 years raising our amazing two children. Outside of my practice and the hospital, I'm a very passionate woodworker and have invested a lot of time to learning many different crafts like chainsaw carving and horology. As a family, we are very committed to traveling the world and have been to Scotland, the Philippines, and New Zealand in recent years."
