Approximately 68% of graduating radiology residents enter a fellowship. The interviewers are curious about your career goals to see how they can support you during your residency. If you are interested in pursuing a fellowship, they want to know your sub-specialty. Or perhaps your goal is to go straight to work as an interventional radiologist or work in a teaching capacity. Let the interviewers know your career goals and why you chose them.

"After completing my residency, I want to pursue a fellowship in Pediatric Radiology. This subspecialty interests me because infants and some young children cannot voice their complaints. I want to help give these children a voice by diagnosing and treating a child in distress using diagnostic imaging tools. Knowing how to solve complex and challenging medical conditions is intellectually gratifying. After completing my fellowship, my goal is to get hired at a children's hospital as a pediatric interventional radiologist."
"My top priority is to become an excellent interventional radiologist during residency. Afterwards, I plan on spending time at an academic institution to gain more case experience and build confidence in specialized procedures like prostate and uterine artery embolization. From there I may consider using these skills in a private practice setting, offering these treatments to an area where there is greater need."
