This question is asked by most PICU Fellowship programs to understand what interests you about their program. With many prospective candidates for a few PICU Fellowship openings each year, your interviewers need to know that their program is a match for you. Candidates who show passion and interest often get ranked near the top of the list.

"In my search for a great Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship program, it's important for me to match into a program with well-rounded clinical rotations and research experience. I love that your program is based out of a children's hospital, where I will get to partner with experts not only in the PICU but also in the emergency, cardiology, and cancer care settings."

Think about two or three features of this particular program that interest you and how the program can help you achieve your personal goals. Before your interview, thoroughly research the program. More often than not, you can find a lot of great information on the program's website. This can include the mission and values of the program and institution, the curriculum, and where alumni go after their time with the program.
