Are you applying to any other fellowship programs?
Competition can be stiff for the limited number of fellowship positions available each year. It puts a little bit of fire under the interviewers if they are aware that you are actively pursuing many opportunities, especially if you are a top candidate of theirs.
"I am keeping an eye out and applying to several reputable endocrinology fellowship programs. No matter the number of interviews I complete, I hold your program in the highest regard because of the academic and research success that your past trainees are now having in practice."
Talk openly about the applications you submitted, but emphasize your interest in this particular fellowship program. Give specific reasons you want to complete your fellowship training with this program, and explain how that will benefit you in your pursuit of becoming a practicing physician in this specialty.
