How would you stay on top of trends and changes in the field of gastroenterology during your time as a fellow with our program?
Networking, education, and career development are vital to the success of any physician. Your interviewers want to know that you will fully immerse yourself in your field as a Gastroenterology Fellow with their program. This includes keeping up to date on new trends and having a great understanding of the challenges the industry faces, both now and in the future.
"Knowing two years ago that my dream was to pursue Gastroenterology Fellowship training at a reputable institution like yours, I immediately became a member of the AGA and currently subscribe to both the Gastroenterology and The New Gastroenterologist journals. I'm very excited to immerse myself in the GI field and take advantage of all of the different CME and networking opportunities to further my future practice."
Prior to your GI Fellowship interview, it will benefit you greatly to research some of the great societies, associations, and journals that are targeted at gastroenterology care. You might also ask the interviewers if they have any recommendations for you. This can start a conversation that will be helpful to you! Come to your interview prepared to reiterate to your interviewers that you are willing and ready to participate with some of the national organizations within the field and, if you can, talk about any that you are currently a part of and what benefits you have seen from them.
