QUESTION 13 OF 30

Do you have plans to pursue a preventive medicine fellowship after completing your residency?

There are numerous preventive medicine fellowships offered in the U.S., including addiction medicine, medical toxicology, occupational medicine, nutrition and metabolism, clinical informatics, and healthcare executive, to name a few. The interviewers are curious about your career goals after you complete the residency program. They want to see if a sub-specialty interests you and why you chose to pursue a fellowship. There is no wrong answer, and this is not a trick question. The interviewers just want to get to know your future goals a little better.

"No, I do not have plans to pursue a preventive medicine fellowship after my residency. My goal is to enter private practice as a preventive medicine physician after I complete my residency."
