The interviewers are curious about your career goals to see how they can support you during your residency. If you are interested in pursuing a fellowship, they want to know your sub-specialty. Or perhaps your goal is to work as a diagnostic radiologist overseas or in a teaching capacity at a teaching hospital. Let the interviewers know your career goals and why you chose them.

"After completing my residency, I want to pursue a fellowship in Pediatric Radiology. This subspecialty interests me because infants and some young children cannot voice their complaints. I want to help give these children a voice by helping diagnose and treat a child in distress using diagnostic imaging tools. Knowing how to solve complex and challenging medical conditions is intellectually gratifying. After completing my fellowship, my goal is to get hired at a children's hospital as a pediatric radiologist."
