Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
How to Answer
Example Answer
Community Answers
Some institutions are very involved in community health initiatives. If your interviewers ask this question, it's likely that they want to hear that you enjoy leading or helping with community outreach efforts.
Share any examples of your involvement with community health initiatives during residency or medical school. If this isn't an area of interest for you, that's okay. Simply let the interviewers know you haven't had the opportunity to participate in community outreach efforts, but you're open to doing so as a fellow.
"Yes, I am! During residency, I often volunteered to help at our community's free clinic during my time off. I also went on a missionary trip to Mexico to help care for underserved populations. As a fellow, I would be happy to continue supporting my community through health clinics and preventative education campaigns."
