"I am so glad you pointed out your need for diversity at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. I greatly value diversity. I grew up in a fairly homogeneous town in Montana. When I hit my 20s, it became more important for me to learn about other cultures. To expand my viewpoint, I worked with volunteer organizations in Peru, inner-city Chicago, and India."

If you have experience working with diverse groups, provide an example of when you have done so. If you have not been exposed to diversity, explain that while you do not have experience working with diverse groups, you look forward to learning about your colleagues' different backgrounds and experiences.
