What career goals do you hope to achieve by pursing a surgical critical care fellowship?

Pursuing a year of training in surgical critical care can be done for many reasons; a lot can depend on the residency path taken and a candidate's ultimate career goals. 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.

Come to your surgical critical care fellowship interview prepared to discuss your future career goals in detail. While keeping in mind that your interviewing team has trained physicians whose careers have gone in many different directions, highlight how training in their program will help you achieve your goals.

"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."
