The interviewer wants to know about your plans and if you have intentions of joining an existing practice or starting your own. After thoroughly exploring their website, you'll learn the university has pride in their Advanced Clinical Training Service Program (ACTS). "After the ACTS experience, students say while they were previously committed to participating in private practice after graduation, the ACTS Program changed their thinking, and they want to give back in different ways. More than 40 percent of the community-based preceptors in these underserved urban and rural community health center dental clinics are CU alumni and graduates of the ACTS Program."
Whatever your goals, discuss where your interests lie, where you hope to take your career, and express that you have no idea where your educational journey may take you and that you are open to the wide range of unexplored possibilities that lie ahead. Express your knowledge of their programs and what they have to offer. This will display your emotional maturity and that your career plan is flexible.

"My ultimate goal would be to open my own practice one day, as I want to control the prices of my services and provide affordable dentistry services to my community. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, so I feel that opening my own practice would scratch that itch as well."
