At Banner Health, we seek to hire healthcare professionals with a passion for our industry. If you could increase public awareness of any healthcare-related issue, which would you choose?
Talk to the interviewer about the areas of healthcare you are passionate about. Discuss a particular issue you would bring more public awareness to if you could.
"There are so many healthcare issues that I am passionate about, but if I could choose one, I wish that the general public were more aware of the signs and dangers of undiagnosed childhood diabetes."
"This is a tough question as there are so many underfunded and worthy healthcare issues. If I could increase public awareness of any healthcare-related issue, I would choose pancreatic cancer. Cancer receives a lot of awareness; however, pancreatic cancer does not. This year, over 53,000 people in the USA will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and nearly 80% will die from the disease - both men and women."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I am very passionate about oncology, and if I had the chance, I would love to increase public awareness for the prevention, detection, and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
