Your interviewers need to be assured that you will put their training to good use and have a carved-out path that you would like to see your career path taking.

"Over the last five years in practice in emergency medicine since finishing my residency training, I've gained a lot of respect for intensivists and have loved following my patients' care in the ICU setting. I want to achieve dual board certification in emergency medicine and as an intensivist so I can continue to practice in a rural academic setting in both the emergency and ICU settings."
