The practice of ophthalmology can be categorized into three main areas: medical, procedural, and surgical. 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 work as an ophthalmologist or work in a teaching capacity. Let the interviewers know your career goals and why you chose them.

"After completing my residency, my goal is to match a glaucoma fellowship. I am especially interested in childhood glaucoma and related pediatric anterior segment diseases after my niece was diagnosed with glaucoma at a young age. I am also fascinated with surgical procedures and clinical research, which are encouraged and supported as part of the fellowship experience."
