Ryan Brown created and launched MockQuestions in 2008.
Your interviewers ask this question for two reasons. First, they want to debunk any common myths about becoming a urology resident for their prospective residents that have. Second, they want to hear how you are working on the areas in which you are not confident as a prospective new resident.

"I have all of the confidence in the world in the clinical skills I've developed over the last four years of my medical school training, from the classroom success I've shown and the great rotations I've been a part of. I know that I will be mastering new skills in clinical and procedural practice during urology residency training, and I'm not worried about that. The only things that would keep me up at night in your program would be quickly learning a new EMR and integrating quickly with the existing team of senior residents. These are pressures that I put on myself to do promptly, and I would make them both a priority in my initial weeks with your program."

Rather than focusing on a potential deficit in your ability to perform as a urology resident, pick a common weakness or fear among new residents in any specialty. Then, explain how you have taken steps to prepare for this hurdle during your initial years in their urology residency program.
