Your interviewer needs to get a good feel for the overall practice desires of each candidate. While they can likely get a good feel for this by looking at your CV, your interviewer wants to hear you discuss any subspecialty interests you may have in a future practice to get a feel for how you will fit with the current team and patient load.

First, your research into the position is vital in answering this question. The job description itself may shed some light on any areas the organization hopes their new physician will delve into. While being honest with yourself, describe your ideal practice setting as far as patients are concerned and ensure that your needs meet the need of the role you are interviewing for.

"I'm ideally looking for a well-rounded general Nephrology practice, but I also love to see and treat pediatric patients and am trained in interventional nephrology. My current practice has enabled me to provide ultrasound-guided procedures, and I'd love to continue to do so."

I would ideally be hoping to work in transplant medicine, as I think this is a very exciting area with increased rates of pre-emptive transplantation, increased outcomes of ABO and HLA incompatible transplants, and maybe in my lifetime artificial kidney transplantation. But at the moment I find all of nephrology interesting and will look forward to working as a general nephrology registrar.
