Many nurses and other support staff are vital to the success of any residency program. On top of the residents and faculty, your relationship with all support staff within the program will help lead it to success. The institution considering you needs to be assured that you will value and nurture all staff within the program, so take the time to highlight some of the key relationships you've nurtured throughout your career to this point. Make sure to give your insight on why staff like APPs, RNs, medical assistants, and other support staff are vital to the overall practice and education for your residents.

"They've been excellent. A clinical practice is built around a true team effort where every individual utilizes their expertise and I'm the type of physician that allows support staff and the nursing team to perform to the best of their abilities. My colleagues have always appreciated my open lines of communication and my ability to connect with them on a personal level. I currently work side-by-side with a Physician Assistant and a full nursing team that includes RNs and LPNs. I love to promote fun and humor while working hard. I'm very excited to join this program as your next residency program director and work alongside the amazing medical assistants, schedulers, and other support staff I've been able to meet with throughout the interview. I get the strong sense that this is a passionate, fun, and dedicated team."
