Most aspiring neurologists (74%) pursue a neurology fellowship after completing their residency. The interviewers are curious about your career goals to see if you will be in the 74 percentile. They want to see what sub-specialty interests you and why you chose to pursue a fellowship. There is no wrong answer, and this is not a trick question. The interviewers just want to get to know your future goals a little better.

"Yes, I have plans to pursue a neurology fellowship. I recognize the need for sub-specialty neurology training, with the burden of neurological disorders sharply rising. I am interested in learning more about Alzheimer's disease since that is one of the disorders that has risen dramatically over the years, and my grandmother died from the disease, so I am especially interested in learning more."
