Tell us something about yourself that is not found on your CV.
The interviewers would like to learn more about you as a person. While you cannot share everything about your personal life and accomplishments on your CV, there must be something you are proud of that you would like to share. If possible, share something about yourself that shows the interviewers you would be a good fit for the residency program. For example, if you share that you compete in marathons, the interviewers will see that you are dedicated and diligent, both essential qualities for residents to possess.
"Something I am very skilled at that is not found on my CV is that I love playing the violin. I have played since I was three and picked it up quite easily. I would spend hours a day perfecting solo pieces, highlighting my dedication to a craft. I also enjoy the violin because it helps me clear my head and focus strictly on the piece I am playing. It enhances my dexterity, coordination, hand strength, and fine motor skills. I feel all these skills will transfer nicely into my profession as a physician."
