The matching algorithm for fellowship programs takes an applicant-centered approach, meaning it looks to rank current residents with their top fellowship program choice as long as the program holds the candidate as a top choice. Knowing this, your interviewers want to ensure that their Gastroenterology Fellowship program fits your needs.

"Right now, I'm focusing my career path in community medicine as a Gastroenterologist that has a strong focus in a well-rounded clinical practice. Looking to be a jack of all trades, I want to get a strong foundation in outpatient care, inpatient care, and procedural care. Exposure to clinical trial experience in fellowship is also very important to me."

I am looking for a collegial training environment with a well-balanced training curriculum for fellows in terms of cognitive and procedural skills as well as adequate research opportunities as I aim to become an academic gastroenterologist. I also look forward to diverse patient and disease exposure so that I am ready to take on any challenges post-graduation as a competent gastroenterologist. I would like to stress the importance of a healthy and supportive culture in the workplace which I experienced during my residency training as we spend more time at work than home and would like that environment to be nurturing for personal and professional growth.
