After completing residency training, some physicians pursue fellowship training to train in a subspecialty. For example, an orthopedic physician may pursue a fellowship program in shoulder surgeries to become an expert in that subspecialty. The interviewer is interested in knowing if you have decided on a subspecialty or will be happy becoming a physician without pursuing a subspecialty. The interviewer also wants to see if you are planning to do a fellowship if your goal is to complete one at their university. Indiana University School of Medicine offers graduate medical education through its fellowship programs, which are too extensive to list here. Let the interviewer know your plans after finishing your residency.

"Yes, I do plan on applying for a fellowship after residency. I am interested in emergency medicine, and the Motorsports Medicine Fellowship offered at your university is incredibly appealing. I grew up around motorcycles since my dad races motocross, speedway, and trials. Over the years, I have seen a fair share of motorcycle accidents. The fellowship is exciting to me as it focuses on race injury prevention and promoting safety in the motorsports industry. With my background and connections in the racing industry, my advanced knowledge and training will be put to great use."
