"Although I've been occasionally remiss in keeping all sign-offs and dictations current, I feel it is important to be diligent in keeping current. It is not lost on me that reimbursement by third-party payers can be affected by incomplete charts. Just as important is the need for accuracy, and the specifics of a procedure or rounds can be spotty if too much time has passed. For these reasons, I agree that keeping current is important and would always strive to be timely in my charting as a Pediatric Intensive Care Fellow with your program."

Speak openly and honestly about how you prioritized your patient charting during your Pediatrics Residency training, and push your answer further by highlighting any direct feedback you received. If you experienced a time where your charting/dictation wasn't timely, it is okay to bring that situation up as long as you can express what you learned from it moving forward into PICU Fellowship.
