Outside of medicine, what are your personal interests and hobbies?

"I am an athletic nut who stays busy playing multiple sports, working out, and training for half marathons. I also love to bake, a passion instilled in me by my grandmother. During residency training, I learned that a balance between home and work life kept me refreshed and ready on the job each day."

Talk openly and honestly to the interviewers about the activities that interest you outside the medical field. As you answer, talk about how these activities will be important in your life as a sports medicine fellow in their program to help keep you happy, healthy, and refreshed during your training.

"My family is my number one priority outside of training. We have two young daughters, and I participate as much as I can in their academics and activities. Also, we like going for long walks with our golden retriever, Max."
