You will most likely be asked several versions of this question during your interview, such as your plans after your residency or where you see yourself in five years. With this question, the interviewers want to hear about your long-term goals. Since this question can only be answered by you, explain where you professionally see yourself in ten years.

"In ten years, I see myself working as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Boston's Children's Hospital. I am originally from Boston and have always wanted to work for Boston Children's Hospital. Most of my family still lives in Boston, so it will be nice to be closer to them after so many years away attending medical school."
