A little help....

How much can one honestly write when asked "Where do you see your medical career in ten years?"

It has no prompt to how long the response should be. I just don't think anyone can write too much besides that they will be in residency and what kind of city they see themselves in. You can say something about starting a family and all but I don't think that pertains to your actual medical career.

With this question, I believe that they are fishing for what type of doctor you want to be. Primary/surgery/peds/etc. Outside of that, the type of environment you live in (urban/rural/ghetto/etc.)

With what I have written up right now, I have made the following points:

1. I think that I will be a resident in a surgical subspecialty program.
2. I would like that program to be located in a large to medium sized city in the southeastern United States.

That should work. I'm assuming this is for VCU? That's basically what I put, and it was 5 sentences in length.

It is for UAB. It is the easiest secondary ever. That is the only real response question they have.

You should also add a little bit about why you see yourself in this specialty/environment. Think about the experiences you have had that have motivated you to pursue this goal. It adds a little more oomph to what you have to say and fills space. Anyone can say WHAT they want to do, but few can back it up and say why with a good reason. If you have a good reason for your choice don't be afraid to talk about it 🙂 ]

Good Luck!
