Success as a sports medicine physician requires drive and determination. Your interviewers want to match fellows that are dedicated to their training and craft, so they ask about who has been your biggest inspiration. This includes both personal and professional motivations.

"As far as mentors go, my high school biology teacher pushed me into exploring more of my skills and a passion for a future in medicine. From a role model perspective, I don't need to look any further than my older sister who battled a cancer diagnosis at 16, beat it, and has become very successful herself."

Before your sports medicine fellowship interview, identify your biggest inspiration or most influential mentor. Talk to the interviewers about who has inspired you and why. If possible, explain how this mentor or influence has inspired your choice to pursue a career as a physician and a future in sports medicine.

"The family physician that I have seen my whole life inspired me to go into medicine and has acted as a mentor in helping guide me towards a career in medicine from the time I was in high school. She not only helped make me better when I was sick; she always encouraged me to push myself to do things I thought were impossible."
