While your interviewers are looking for a candidate that is a clinical fit for their surgical critical care program, they also seek a personal and cultural fit. If your interviewers ask a question like this, they want to hear that you have some unique skills or personality traits apart from the clinical skills you have developed that make you the best fit for their program.

Put some thought into your top strength outside of your clinical skills and come to your interview prepared to give an answer that will make you a unique and memorable candidate. Your answer to this question could include soft skills like empathy, charity, integrity, and consistency or personality traits, like being a natural educator. Your answer should be well thought out and supported to impress your interviewers.

"From high school to the final year of my residency program, I've been commended for having the necessary skills and mindset to be a champion for change. Healthcare always has been and always will be an evolving and growing field, and being a leader that motivates others in times of change will be key to success. In your surgical critical care fellowship, I know I will face a lot of new changes, and I will tackle them with a positive attitude and a growth mindset."
