Being dedicated to your professional development and knowledge is a huge bonus for most employers. Talk to the interviewer about which area of healthcare you would expand your knowledge if given the opportunity.

"I feel that I can always learn more about compassionate care and the techniques surrounding long-term compassionate care. I like the idea of professional development and am open to any coursework you suggest."

"There is always more to learn in a variety of areas; however, I would especially enjoy furthering my education and training in pediatric kidney care. I find children to be most interesting to work with."

"I would especially enjoy furthering my education and getting training in leadership, mentoring, and management."

Alexandra's Feedback

This is a good answer, though the question asks about a health care related topic. If you stick with this answer, I may just revise the answer a little.

"I would especially enjoy furthering my education and training in how best to lead, mentor, and manage in the health care industry."

"I would like to learn more about child pediatrics kidney care."

Lauren's Feedback

It would be helpful to choose an area that Davita specializes in (you may have in your response, but I am not sure). I also recommend adding more context. Why would you like to learn more about Pediatric Kidney Care? This is an opportunity for the interviewer to get to know you more.

"If I could expand my knowledge in any healthcare-related topic, I would select Pediatric Kidney Care. Pediatrics has always piqued my interest, and I would like to learn and juxtapose my knowledge of adult kidney care."

"Although there are many areas to improve upon, I would choose Kidney disease as it is one of the leading causes of death and I feel there is so much education that can be done on the topic including the different stages."

Stephanie's Feedback

This is a great start, but I am curious (as your interviewer may be) why you chose kidney disease. Can you personalize your response by sharing an extra sentence about why this topic piqued your interest and why this is important to you?

"If I could improve my knowledge on a healthcare-related topic, I would choose Kidney disease, the more knowledge I have the more I can help patients improve their health and understanding and it would help me to have more insight and grow stronger with DaVita."

Marcie's Feedback

Great! Don't forget to discuss why kidney disease would be your topic of choice. Have you already done additional research in this area that you can mention? Or do you have plans to learn more about this in the future? If so, talk about this to show your sincere commitment to this issue and helping others.
