A majority of the patients you will work with during your Ultrasound Fellowship training will be facing uncomfortable, painful, or even life-threatening situations. These situations can make patients anxious and scared, and your interviewers need to hear that you have a great bedside manner and communication skills to walk patients through your exam and put their minds at ease.

"By putting myself in each patient's shoes, I approach my patients with care and respect. I ask the patient about their comfort and pain levels and reassure them that my exam will not cause any additional discomfort. I also give patients a timeline of the procedure to put them at ease. This approach is especially important for scared or anxious patients."
