Most neurology residents (74%) pursue a fellowship after residency, 19% enter a neurology practice, and 5% proceed directly into an academic position. 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 enter a neurology practice or work in a teaching capacity. Let the interviewers know your career goals and why you chose them.

"After completing the residency program, my goal is to work as a neurologist at my father's private practice. He has been a neurologist for twenty years and has always dreamed of working alongside me. My father wants to retire in another five years and have me take over his practice, which has been my career goal since I started medical school."
