"The New England Journal of Medicine has been a great resource during medical school and my IM residency training. With its reputation for scholarly activities, I know it will continue to be throughout my ID fellowship training and career in practice. As a fellow, I plan on joining the IDSA and subscribing to their Journal of Infectious Diseases. Are there any other groups that you would recommend?"

Talk about a couple of the resources you plan to use to stay on top of trends in Infectious Disease medicine. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers if they have any recommendations. This can start a conversation that will be helpful to you! Before your interview, be sure to look into the different ID Medicine groups, journals, and publications so you can speak knowledgeably about them during your interview.
"Knowing that I was going to pursue ID fellowship training a year ago, I've been reading a lot of the IJID journals and The Lancet publications on great research happening in the field. Immersing myself in research has been very intriguing, and I can't wait to learn more and grow in this realm as a fellow with your program."
