QUESTION 5 OF 30

How have you contributed to this field of medicine so far?

Residency training is demanding, but your interviewers want to know that you have contributed, or at least aspire to contribute, to the field at large. Your pursuit of fellowship indicates your vested interest in contributing to the field of medicine, so the interview panel wants to learn more about how you've acted on that thus far in your career.

Tell the interviewers about any research you've published or contributed to. You can also highlight any community outreach events you've helped with, volunteer experiences, missionary work, or anything else that goes beyond the scope of your clinical residency training.

"Contributing to the field of medicine has always been important to me, and I think research is one of the best ways to do that. In medical school, I joined the Future Researchers group and learned about the foundations of research, including the steps to getting published. Then, in residency, I collaborated with several peers on a research project that we're hoping to see published this year."
