As an Internal Medicine resident and future Infectious Disease fellow, attending academic conferences is extremely beneficial to career/skill development, networking, and receiving valuable feedback. Your interviewers pose this question to hear you talk openly about the conferences you have attended as an Internal Medicine resident to gauge your interest in further participation during your time as a fellow in their program.

Speak freely about all of the conferences you had the chance to attend during your residency and discuss what you feel are the biggest advantages of them. As you describe which one was your favorite and why, make it clear to your interviewers that you are looking forward to joining and participating in the conference opportunities that will come during your time training with their ID fellowship program.

"I loved attending core lectures, senior reports, and the ACP national conference last year. Being able to network with other future physicians with my practice and research interests has set me up for long-term success. My favorite conference opportunity with my residency program has been weekly attendance at the grand rounds to hear speakers talk about innovative research and healthcare delivery. Coming to your ID fellowship program, I would look forward to taking advantage of any conference opportunities to help myself learn and grow in the field."
