Graduating urology residents have many options upon exiting the program, including going directly into practice or pursuing one of many advanced fellowship training programs. Your interviewers ask this question to get a feel for your future career goals and how you will look to shape your training path in the later years of their program.

First and foremost, there is no right or wrong answer to a question like this. However, you want to show that you have thought about your future career path as you answer. Research the advanced urology fellowships available and discuss any that may interest you. If you are unsure at this point, that is okay as well. If that is the case, reiterate that you will take the coming years to learn your niche as a resident with this program.

"I'd like to end up in a large academic center, so my initial career interests focus on cancers and transplants. I have been exploring fellowships in urologic oncology and kidney/pancreas transplant, but I'm fully aware that I'll learn more about the field and myself in the coming years during residency training and may learn more about where I want my career path to go."
