QUESTION 14 OF 30

What are your plans if you do not secure a fellowship position?

Life doesn't always go according to plan, and that is especially the case in medicine. The interview panel wants to know you think ahead and plan for the unexpected. When you confirm you have thought ahead and share your alternate plan with the interviewers, they will feel confident about how you view the big picture.

Reassure the interviewers that fellowship is your number one goal, but let them know you have thought about your options should you not match into a fellowship position.

"While I'm extremely hopeful that I'll have the opportunity to become a fellow, I realize it's possible I won't match. With that in mind, I've been speaking with several of my mentors about clinical opportunities in the area. I also reached out to a physician in my hometown, and she's agreed to introduce me to several local physicians who are looking to expand their practices."
