On average, 92.9% of graduating osteopathic residents in the United States pursue a fellowship. The interviewers are curious about your career goals after you complete the residency program and if you will be one of the over 90% who pursue a fellowship. They want to see what sub-specialty interests you and why you chose to continue furthering your education. 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.
