As you know, there is a lot of education and time to become a thoracic surgeon. The interviewer can see from your resume where you have been educated, but they want to hear where you went to medical school, what pathway you chose, and if you participated in a fellowship. Describe how your education has prepared you for a career as a thoracic surgeon.

"I obtained my bachelor's degree in chemistry and my Doctor of Medicine from Duke University. I then went to Washington University School of Medicine, where I spent seven years completing my general surgery residency, focusing on thoracic surgery. After completing my residency, I decided to take the six-year integrated cardiothoracic surgery fellowship for more experience. After being mentored for 16 years during medical school, residency, and fellowship, I feel adequately prepared and confident in my skills as a thoracic surgeon."
