Successfully matching into a great PICU Fellowship is a competitive process. While your interviewers will dig into your clinical skills and interests during your interview, personal fit may be an important factor during their match process. With this question, your interviewers are looking to get to know who you are as a person to gauge how you will fit with the current fellows and faculty in the program.

"From a young age, I have enjoyed outdoor activities. I love to mountain bike, canoe, camp, and hike. Whenever I had free time during medical school and residency training, I explored nature in many different ways, and we've started to instill these values in our children. I love that this region has awesome rivers and trails for us to explore for the next three years while I would be in PICU Fellowship training with your program."

When asked a question about yourself and your interests, be open and honest with your interviewers. Show that your interests outside of practice include healthy lifestyle choices and genuine passion for what you do. Discuss any hobbies or interests that you have that make you a truly unique person.
