To better the odds of matching with a great program, most Internal Medicine residents will apply to ID fellowship programs all over the country. As they consider your application, your interviewers want to know that you are serious about your willingness to relocate and focus on training in their program.

The goal when answering this question is to assure the interviewer that relocating will not be a problem for you. If it's a challenging relocation for you, but you are willing to do it, explain your willingness to move for the sake of joining and training in this program. Don't hesitate to talk about your personal or family situation and the support you have to pursue this dream of yours.

"I would greatly look forward to the opportunity of joining your ID fellowship program. I traveled here in my youth with family as we have extended family in the city. I love that I will be able to participate in all of my hobbies here in the region and have opportunities to do new things over the next three years."
"I am very eager to join your Infectious Disease fellowship program. One of the many reasons I want to join is to explore a new area of the country and see if this is a place I would someday like to land and build our family. My wife is very supportive of this potential move as she would have great opportunities available in her career here."
