PM&R is a diverse and unique field with a significant number of career options after completing a residency. Graduates can choose between academic versus private, outpatient versus inpatient, consultant versus primary, or a combination of the above. The interviewers are curious about your career goals to see how they can support you during your residency. If you are interested in pursuing a fellowship, they want to know your sub-specialty. Or perhaps your goal is to work as a physiatrist in private practice or academia. Let the interviewers know your career goals and why you chose them.
