Most PM&R physicians work for other institutions rather than own their own practice due to the start-up costs of starting a business. The interviewers ask this question to understand your career goals and where you see yourself working after completing your residency and/or fellowship. If you do not plan to own your own business, explain why. If you would like to start a practice in the future, describe why business ownership appeals to you.

"No, I do not plan on having my own practice one day. While I consider myself an entrepreneur and have owned a business, the thought of starting a practice does not interest me. Working in a hospital or established practice is more appealing because I do not want to incur further debt on top of my student loans."
