What was your favorite didactic training you received during your residency training?
Educational didactics are an important piece of the year that you will spend in surgical critical care fellowship training. To determine if you will be involved and excited about their didactic training, your interviewers want to hear you elaborate on which didactic training during your residency program excited you the most.
Before your surgical critical care fellowship interview, thoroughly research the program you are interviewing with and the types of didactic training they offer their fellows. As you consider the conferences, grand rounds, or any other formal education you received during your residency, speak passionately about your desire to take advantage of the didactics they offer.
"For me, grand rounds were absolutely my favorite didactics piece of my general surgery residency. Hearing experts in my field talk about real-world research, and results could be educational, awe-inspiring, and motivational. I also loved that my institution brought in field experts from around the globe to speak, and I took advantage of every opportunity to listen in and ask questions. As a fellow with your program, I'd look forward to immersing myself in opportunities like one of the annual critical care medicine conferences and journal clubs."
