16. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
How to Answer
Hospitals or groups, either of whom could benefit by adding a podiatrist to their staff roster, want to know whether you'll be sticking around. Turnover, especially of skilled clinicians, is expensive for them and they want to keep whomever they can. This question also looks to expose your ambitions, especially as they may pertain to the ambitions of the hospital or group.

Experience Level
"In ten years, I hope to strike a balance between clinical practice and teaching, because it was the science in podiatry that first attracted me to it. Also, I find teaching very satisfying. It is an opportunity to give back and teach others, just like others have taught me over those ten years."
