It cannot be emphatically stated enough to please never do this. Never reframe your weaknesses as strengths because this indicates insincerity. It is completely transparent and obvious to the interviewers, and it will backfire and hurt your chances of having a strong and successful interview.
Interviewers see candidates do this very thing all the time, and in fact, this method will almost guarantee that you will not be invited to another interview or extended an offer of acceptance. Trust us when we say that every single one of us has weaknesses—it is what we do with those weaknesses that tell a lot about our character.
Having strong character and exhibiting honesty are two crucial qualities for medical students, residents, and physicians. So, we recommend that you put your best foot forward, address your weakness, and show what you did to improve.
