"If I could choose any area of healthcare services to be a subject matter expert in, I would choose child and youth mental health. I have a little understanding of mental health issues affecting the pediatric population but would like to learn more."

"I have various interests within the healthcare service, so that is a tough question for me! If I had to narrow it to just one area of expertise, I would say cancer care and the necessary family care and education that comes with it. I had a grandmother who died from breast cancer, and at the time, there was not much patient and family education. I want to help others understand the disease more clearly, and know what to expect with treatment."

Focus on choosing a service area that Austin Health offers. If you describe an area you would like to gain more knowledge about, and Austin Health does not provide it, the interviewer will feel that you might leave their organization for another. Austin Health offers many services, such as cancer and wellness, a variety of specialized clinics, mental health, scans and tests, and surgical procedures.
