How to Answer
Example Answer
Community Answers
Your interviewers want to know what you've done beyond the basics of residency training. Your pursuit of fellowship training indicates that you have a vested interest in contributing to the field of medicine at large, so the interview panel wants to learn more about how you've acted on that thus far in your career.
Tell the interviewers about any research you've published or contributed to. You can also highlight any community outreach events you've helped with, volunteer experiences, missionary work, or anything else that goes beyond the scope of your clinical residency training.
"I know it's still early in my career, but contributing to the field of medicine is important to me. In medical school, I was part of the Future Researchers group and I learned about the foundations of research, including the steps to getting published. Then, in residency, I collaborated with several peers on a research project about polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents that we're hoping to see published this year."
