The purpose of your CV is to present your education, experience, and accomplishments in a concise and direct way. Typically, it's impossible to tell what experiences might be more meaningful beyond the hard skills listed in bullet points. The interview panel wants to know which experience you find significant enough to elaborate on when given the chance. Your response will provide insight into who you are as a physician and as a person.
The smartest decision is to choose an experience from your CV that both highlights strengths relevant to fellowship training and resonates with you/aligns with your future career goals. Speak passionately about the experience you choose.
"In the summer between my third and fourth year of medical school, I volunteered with The American Cancer Society as part of their "Road to Recovery" program. As a volunteer, I gave rides to patients who struggled to find transportation to their treatment appointments. I never imagined that the few months I spent volunteering there would contribute to my medical training, but I learned so much about how to communicate with patients. The experience really drove home the point that patients are individuals with unique interests and needs and I'm excited to develop relationships with the patients I'll meet as a fellow in your program."
