If this question is proposed during your interview, the chances are great that inventory management and other administrative duties will be a part of this role with Adventist Health. Your interviewer would like to know if you understand what it takes to keep on top of ordering medical supplies and inventory. Assure the interviewer that you are capable of foreseeing needs and taking the appropriate action. Highlight your ability to be responsible when it comes to related administrative tasks, and don't hesitate to talk about any of these duties that you've successfully handled in the past.

"I have experience ordering medical supplies and maintaining inventory in my current role in the clinic setting. At the end of each clinic day, I am responsible for a quick inventory of supplies in the exam room and am responsible for restocking before the next day. If our supply room is running low on items, I know the threshold of inventory to let our assistants know to order more from our central supply."

Maintaining inventory is vital to running a functional department. Whether it's filling the bins in a copier machine. Calling central supplies is one example when I needed crutches that properly fit my patient. Restocking every bin in each bay and the supplies room when supplies arrived. Coordinating the assignments to nurses in a fair distribution of workload is one more example of how I can be an asset to any department.
