If your match would require what your interviewers would consider a major relocation, they need to hear that you have considered this. In posing this question, they want to hear that you will find the city/region a great fit for yourself and your family and that you will find things that keep you interested and engaged when you are not on ICU coverage.

"I've always wanted to spend some time on the west coast, and my spouse is very open to moving here; her job allows the flexibility to work virtually. We both have family in the area, which will be nice around the holidays. We are big sports fans and love that we would have exposure to all four major sports; we plan to attend games in our free time."

If you have lived in or visited the city or adjacent cities, you should mention this. If you know anyone there, talk about the good things they have told you. If it is an unfamiliar city/region, pick traits unique to the city that intrigue you and explain why you think living in the area would be a positive experience. Assure your interviewers that you have done your homework on the city and can see yourself thriving there over the coming year and potentially beyond.
