Following the successful completion of a general interventional radiology residency, some physicians may choose to continue with subspecialty training in a fellowship. This one-year, ACGME-approved program provides training in all aspects of interventional radiology. The interviewers are curious about your career goals after you complete the residency program. They want to see if a subspecialty interests you and why you chose to pursue a fellowship. There is no wrong answer, and this is not a trick question. The interviewers simply want to get to know your future goals a little better.
