"I feel confident that my orthopedic residency program trained me well to be a well-rounded clinical surgeon. Because it exposed me to so many aspects of treating orthopedic injuries and performing procedures on any type of injury, I feel like I would be successful in any practice setting. With that said, my passion has always been to have a practice focused on sports medicine. With your fellowship program, I would hope to learn from some of the top sports medicine orthopedists in the world."

Research the fellowship program and the institution itself before the interview. Some online research will give you insight into the mission and values of the organization, the curriculum of the program, and where past fellows have found practices after their training. Take accountability for your growth and experiences.

Coming from a strong surgical training program, I feel prepared to manage many aspects of otolaryngology. I hope to refine the surgical skills I have gained in residency and to expand my understanding of facial reconstructive and aesthetic care in a higher level of detail, learning from leading surgeons in the field while training in your program.
