In most vascular surgery fellowship programs, fellows get the opportunity to practice at several clinic training sites. This can include main campus hospitals, satellite surgery centers, and even VA hospitals. In asking this question, your interviewers want to hear if you gained experience practicing in multiple settings during your residency training and that you are excited about the settings their program will put you in.

Talk openly about the hospitals and clinics that your general surgery residency program put you in, and explain that you are very appreciative of those experiences you got and what you learned from them. If possible, try to do a bit of reading on the different settings the program you are interviewing uses so you can express your enthusiasm for them as you answer.

"During my residency training, I have performed a majority of my cases at the main campus hospital in state-of-the-art operating suites. I'm very grateful that I had the chance to rotate to a couple of our community hospitals and experience procedures and follow-up care in that setting. I think it's important for physicians to remain nimble in their practice location, particularly for surgeons. I love that your program will include rotations in one of the largest VA hospitals in the country."
