As a future pediatrician, you could take many career paths after residency. The interviewers want to know where you see yourself in ten years to determine if you set professional goals and what career path you would like to take. Describe if you see yourself in private practice, providing primary care in an established medical facility, working in community practice, or working in academia.

"In ten years, I see myself working as a developmental and behavioral pediatrician at a children's hospital in Tennessee since my family lives there. After my residency, I will be applying for a developmental and behavioral pediatric fellowship. My focus is on working with children with autism, cerebral palsy, and complex ADHD."
