Interventional radiology residents are encouraged to take electives such as clinical rotations in transplant, hepatology, and diagnostic radiology to broaden their education. The interviewers ask this question to understand what interests you and why. They want to know where you will succeed in the program and how they can help you along the way. They also want to see that you have researched the program and what is offered.

"The electives I am most interested in are the breast imaging and angiography electives. The breast imaging elective interests me because of the high number of patients I have seen with breast cancer. The angiography elective sounds interesting as I will get to participate in interventional procedures, film interpretation, consultation, and daily rounds."
"I am excited to participate in the ICU rotation. Many patients treated in the IR department are unfortunately critically ill, or may become critically ill after their procedure. This rotation provides residents with a controlled and supervised setting to care for patients clinically. Because diagnostic radiology rotations are often removed from direct patient care, this rotation will provide the opportunity to hone my clinical skills."
