Coming out of Internal Medicine residency training, many are tempted to hit the workforce and go directly into practice for financial gain and to practice medicine after many years of education and training. Your decision to pursue Critical Care fellowship training hopefully means you have a career path planned out. Your interviewers want to hear your career goals and real motivations for pursuing this path.

"In all honesty, upon entering Internal Medicine training, I was pretty unsure of where my path would take me. I had dreams of CV medicine and GI, but training during the pandemic and seeing the magical work that was done to save lives in an ICU in a major city played a huge role in my decision. I also loved the fast pace of the work and the 7 day on, 7 day off work schedule that I may be able to pursue one day."
