There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The faculty at the program you are interviewing with has trained residents who have gone on to practice in every setting possible. As long as you answer honestly, they'll hear your passion for medicine and be able to help shape your training for what you want to achieve down the road.

"Having grown up in a rural farming community where access to healthcare often required a long drive, I'd love to practice someday in the area where I grew up with a health system that has community practices in more rural settings. My ideal practice will allow me to have a full scope of practice with my rural patients while also having system access to great specialists to be able to refer my patients to."
"I grew up in a rural area and I foresee myself practicing after residency in a rural setting. I think it would be great to help an underserved patient population in a rural town that needs a doctor."
