Most Emergency Medicine residents and Pediatrics residents interested in pursuing Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellowship training will apply to many programs all over the country, given the limited number of training positions available each year. As they consider your application, your interviewers want to know that you are serious about your willingness to relocate and put your focus on training in their program.

The goal when answering this question is to assure the interviewer that relocating will not be a problem for you. If it's a distant relocation for you, but you are willing to do it, explain your willingness to move for the sake of joining this program. Don't hesitate to talk about your personal or family situation and the support you have to pursue this dream of yours. Your interviewers also would love to hear if you have any ties to the area.

"I would greatly look forward to the opportunity of joining your program. I have some extended family on the west coast and visited a few times during my childhood. I love the landscape here and the opportunities to play in the ocean and mountains for the next two years if I join your program. My family would be very supportive of this move as well."
