"I know that I will likely take on a special interest within Family Medicine. I have an interest in sports medicine and would love to explore potential training further in this area with your faculty."

When the interviewer is asking you this question, they genuinely want to know what interests you within Family Medicine. Family Medicine is a broad specialty and candidates may have interests in various aspects of it. Some people pursue Family Medicine in the hopes of becoming a primary care doctor. Others know that they would eventually like to specialize in something such as Sports Medicine.

Dr. Griswold

Try your best to be genuine in your answer and show your passion about why you are attracted to Family Medicine. This would not be a time to mention interests that are clearly outside of the scope of Family Medicine.
