What do you think your biggest challenge in your vascular surgery fellowship will be?

"In all honesty, I feel the biggest challenge for me from the start of your, or any, vascular surgery fellowship program will be getting used to the new focus on vascular care for patients. During residency, I've become accustomed to didactic case reviews being so broad in focus. I'm seeing this as a welcome change because this niche is where I want to see my career go as a surgeon."

Your interviewers will appreciate your honesty and candor if you can openly describe what you feel will be the most significant hurdle you will have to overcome if you join their program and how you plan to succeed. An easy way to do this would be to carefully study the curriculum and the rotations you would be completing and come to your interview ready to highlight the one area you will find to be challenging. Speak with confidence in discussing your plan to get up to speed quickly.
