As a new Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellow, would you be comfortable handling direct patient care with little supervision?

Prove your ability to work confidently with little supervision by discussing your final years in residency and the responsibilities you were given without projecting overconfidence. As a Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellow, your work with patients will be scrutinized and used as a learning opportunity, so let your interviewers know that you are aware of that. Speak with modest confidence in your ability to work with patients with little to no supervision.

"I would come to your Pediatric EM program with the highest degree of confidence and would be comfortable in any patient care situation. My pediatric residency gave me great experience in the emergency, ICU, and general inpatient settings, and these experiences have prepared me well for this. If I wasn't comfortable with a situation, I wouldn't hesitate to ask for help or thoughts from others."
