You should be well aware of the invasive procedures you will be learning over the next three years. Your interviewers want to hear what invasive procedure is most exciting to you and learn a bit about what you want to accomplish during your time training with their program.

"During my residency training, I was exposed to intubation and central venous catheterization. I'm most excited about learning thoracostomy tube placements because I know this procedure is a vital skill for any Pediatric Intensivist, and I haven't had hands-on experience with it yet. I fully trust my hands-on skills working with pediatric patients at any age, and now it will be just learning the ins and outs of the procedure."

Come to your interview prepared to openly discuss one or two invasive procedures that excite you the most. There is no right or wrong answer to a question like this, so your interviewers will be listening for your passion and drive in your answer.
