Cardiology Fellows that are fortunate enough to be invited to and participate in code teams during their training gain invaluable experience that they can bring to any future practice after training. It is a highly desirable skill and experience by many employers. Your interviewer ideally wants to hear that you would jump at an opportunity to participate in code teams.

"I would jump at any chance to participate on the code blue or code yellow teams at your facility as a fellow. I am well versed in cardiac arrest situations and love the quick thinking and fast-paced environment of saving a patient's life. As you can see, my residency training is in New York City at a very busy metropolitan hospital. Code teams were a marvel to watch in action the few times they came to units I was rotating on."

For the first part of your answer, it is a good idea to let your interviewers know that you are familiar with the code teams in any hospital type setting. Be sure to elaborate on the fact that Cardiologists typically participate on the code blue and code yellow teams within the hospital and express any code teams that you would relish being a part of.

Of course. Leading a code effectively is a very important skill and one I have been working on honing during residency. We have a mock code curriculum twice a month and I never miss a lecture and always jump up to participate. I also was selected to be on our Sim Olympics team and competed with a team of 5 Chony residents, coming in first. I also have a lot of experience responding to rapids and codes as a senior resident at Columbia.
