The matching algorithm for residency and fellowship programs takes an applicant-centered approach, meaning it matches medical students with their top choice as long as the program holds the candidate as a top choice. Knowing this, your interviewers want to ensure that their Critical Care fellowship program matches your needs and what you are looking for in a specific program.

"As I researched Critical Care fellowships throughout the country, my main focus was on a wide breadth of clinical exposure, high-quality mentors with a low fellow-to-faculty ratio, and exposure to great research opportunities. Knowing that I want to practice in an academic center one day, I feel your program will give me the best opportunity to train with the best."
