Any ideas? What kind of content should we talk about? It seems pretty difficult to have any ideas at this stage
How to answer the question, "what do you see yourself doing in X years?"

Just answer it the best you can. I doubt that any of us like that question, yet it's one that we all will have to answer [probably] at least once on the interview circuit. (I've had to answer that question for 10, 12, and 20 years so far in my interviews this year.)

Do you have a vision of yourself practicing medicine?
Your hometown? Is it a Big city? little city? small town? Rural area?
Office based practice? Does a hospital setting seem more to your liking (ER, ICU?, rehab)?
Like long term relationships with patients (treating chronic conditions such as diabeters as well as primary care-prevention) or intense short-term contacts (as one has with a specialty surgeon)?
Would you like to practice medicine in a clincal setting with no other resopnsiblities (you want to practice as a clinician) or whould you prefer to combine patient care with teaching residents and research (if so, say that you want to go into academic medicine)?
Shadowing and/or other experiences in medicine should have given you some pictures in your head. Where do you see yourself in those pictures?
