QUESTION 3 OF 35

Critical Care fellows in our program get the opportunity to participate in code teams if they choose. Are you willing to do so?

Critical Care 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 for many employers. Your fellowship program interviewers ideally want 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 team 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 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 an excellent idea to let your interviewers know that you are familiar with the roles of different code teams in any hospital-type setting. Be sure to elaborate on the fact that Critical Care physicians typically participate on the code blue teams within the hospital and express any code teams you would want to be a part of.
