Answer Example
"I have never considered any specialty other than urology. From the time I decided to go to medical school I knew I wanted to be a Urologist. I am happy to take classes and continue my education, perhaps for an advanced degree that may go hand in hand with current role, but I am not interested in changing my specialty."

"Becoming a urologist was the only thing I ever wanted to do. There are other areas that are interesting to me, but nothing that I would consider leaving this career for. I am quite happy with my choice of specialty and look forward to many more years of practice."
