Ryan Brown created and launched MockQuestions in 2008.
Your interviewers will pose some questions to get to know you personally during your time with them. They want to get a feel for who you are and what motivates you. They also ask this question to make sure that you will partake in activities outside your urology residency training that help you recharge physically and mentally.

"I have a variety of activities and hobbies that help me relax and unwind. Growing up, I was an athlete, and staying in shape through exercise has always been important to me. I enjoy running, lifting weights, and biking as much as possible. I find those activities clear my mind after a long day in the classroom. I also am an avid cook and baker and consider myself a master of the grill and smoker. I love having friends over to eat my latest concoctions on a nice summer day."

This question is more likely to be asked by senior residents than the faculty to gauge how you will fit in with the program's residents. Pick some popular activities to show that you would get along with the current residents, as well as some uncommon activities to project yourself as a unique and memorable person. Expect follow-up questions about your interests.
