QUESTION 27 OF 35

Would you have any concerns about relocating to join our Gastroenterology Fellowship program and living in this city for the next three years?

Every year, graduating Internal Medicine Residents compete to match into a wide array of fellowships to further their careers. This includes the very competitive process for matching into Gastroenterology Fellowship programs. As you are likely applying to and interviewing with programs all over the country, your interviewers need to know that you are willing and ready to relocate for their program.

"I have only visited New York City during my freshman year of my undergraduate program, but I would be super excited to come and train here for the next three years. I would look forward to visiting Times Square, seeing Madison Square Garden, and enjoying the wide variety of dining options here in the city. I wouldn't have any concerns about relocating here."

If you have lived or visited the city or adjacent cities, you should mention this fact. If you know anyone there, talk about the good things they have told you. If it is an unfamiliar city/region, pick traits that are unique to the city that would intrigue you and help you be able to thrive while living in the area. Ensure that your interviewers understand that you have done your homework on the city and can see yourself succeeding there.

Anonymous Answer

I have been living in New England for about 4 years and I love the amazing balance of tranquility and vibrancy in this city. My husband has an established job here, we have extended family and we frequently travel to the Tri-state area. U conn provides a wonderful training perspective and Connecticut has one of the best schooling systems in the United States so training in this program will be. a win-win situation overall for my career growth and my family.
