It is common for healthcare providers to choose different specialty areas. Sometimes those areas complement one another while other times they may be opposites. This is an opportunity for the interviewer to get to know you. Share what an alternate specialty would be for you and why.

"I have always had a fascination with the heart and really think I would like an opportunity to learn more about cardiology and cardiac care. Of course, I love oncology, but I think learning is something we should do every day. Cardiology would definitely be my next choice."
