Before even considering pursuing fellowship training in Critical Care Medicine, you should understand the role communication plays in the success of the entire medical team in an ICU setting. Patient-centered communication is vital for fellows to be successful, and your interviewers want to know that you are a great communicator. They want to hear that you have strong verbal and written communication skills when communicating with patients, faculty, colleagues, and your patient care team.

Before your interview, think about your communication strengths. Come to your interview prepared to discuss what makes you great at communicating with patients, colleagues, and support staff. More importantly, explain why solid communication skills are vital for any Critical Care fellow and Intensivist.

"My interpersonal communication skills focus on education and compassion. I treat every conversation with the utmost respect, no matter the nature of the communication. As a Critical Care fellow, I know that my colleagues and care team within the ICU will also rely on me to be a leader. I am thorough, clear, and respectful. I don't shy away from difficult conversations when communicating as a leader. I also praise and encourage my team members with my communication style."
