Your interviewers will pose some questions to get to know you personally throughout 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 of your Cardiology Fellowship training that help recharge, both physically and mentally.

"My two main hobbies are woodworking and horology and these two hobbies combine to make a great pair. My inspiration in horology came from my grandfather at a young age, when I used to watch him construct beautiful timekeeping apparatuses. I'm currently building a grandfather clock for my brother that has carvings of ducks in the corners and marsh reeds along the side."

Pick some popular activities to show that you would get along with the current fellows, as well as some uncommon activities to project yourself as a unique and memorable person. Expect follow-up questions about your interests.

Well, I am a full-time mom of teenagers who like to eat, so I love to cook for them. I also like to watch movies and go for walks. I am a fitness freak so I love to exercise, I do pilates, Yoga, and strength training.

Interesting! It sounds like you're well-rounded with lots of cool hobbies. If you can connect any of them to the fellowship, do this. For example, you might mention that to relieve stress you like to cook, watch movies, and work out - and plan to do this during the fellowship to recharge in between studying, training, and conducting research. Good job!

Running and music. Marathons, half-marathons. Get outside, stay in shape, set goals, and meet them. Music is a release - a big family activity for me.
