Are you familiar with the common ways to stay on top of trends and changes in the sports medicine field?

"As a family medicine resident, I've actively participated in the AAFP and attended their national conference twice during my training. I love the ability to network, review research and learn from other peers. Knowing I would be pursuing this fellowship, I already joined the ACSM and look forward to learning more and exploring with that group. Do you have any other resources that you would recommend?"

There are two key points that you want to make as you answer a question like this during your sports medicine fellowship interview. First, talk about how you embraced participating in the conferences and societies of your medical specialty during your residency. Speak with passion as you discuss how that helped benefit you and your future. Second, you want to ensure that you familiarize yourself with these channels available in the sports medicine arena and come prepared to discuss your excitement for participation in them in the future.

"I plan on staying current on all the new research, trends, and technologies to be the best physician I can be. I'm excited to immerse myself and join the ACSM and participate in the ASMI's annual conferences."
