During most of your interview process and the screening of your application materials and references, the vascular surgery program you are interviewing with will learn about the clinical skills you would bring to their team. Once they are confident in this, knowing who you are as a person and how you will fit on their team becomes important as well. The interviewers ask this question to gain insight into your personality and to see that you have a healthy work/life balance.

"With a growing family, my two young kids take up a majority of my free time. As former athletes, my spouse and I have our kids playing baseball, soccer, and basketball, and I'm as involved as possible in practicing and coaching them along the way. My wife and I are very passionate about cooking, and we love to explore new recipes from around the world on our own."
