It's impossible to know where you will be in 5 years, but you need to assure the interviewer that, given all possible circumstances, you see yourself working as an anesthesiologist with them for the long term. For example, you can offer to seek leadership in the organization. Another example, taking this question on a track similar to the one about self-development, it can be answered similarly with how you plan to improve within your vocation. Alternatively, with the advancements in technology and medicine that are happening (according to IBM, total medical knowledge is doubling every 77 days!), this question can be your chance to tell the interviewer how you plan to be a part of the action. The energy that you put into this answer will show the interviewer your motivation level.

"As a newer anesthesiologist, my focus short term is to find a reputable organization to join so that I can get established, grow and develop. In three to five years, I would like to be exploring specialty areas and potentially pursue additional certifications that would allow me to add more value to the organization and to continue to grow and expand my own skill set and expertise."

"In five years I would like to be indispensable--that's tongue-in-cheek bravado, I know. What I really mean is that I'd like to contribute to the department to the extent such that I would be considered a valued asset on educational, professional, and ethical levels within the profession and within the organization. Engaging in such qualities is true leadership."
