In the realm of healthcare, humility in your work means that you are confident and knowledgeable in your work, but not to the point of being arrogant or snobbish to those patients and colleagues that you work side by side with on a daily basis. For this question, your interviewer will be looking to hear that you are humble in your work through some examples that you have. Talk about your skills that you have and the fact that you don't boast or show off to your colleagues or patients. Talk about the fact that taking an empathetic approach and seeing things from the patients perspective projects humility in your work and that you don't see yourself as more important than any other piece of the patient care puzzle.

"Regarding patient care and the people that I work with, I fully realize that I am just one small part of their overall care and well-being. While I have great skills as a Sonographer and my work is important in diagnosing and preventing disease and sickness in my patients, I take a humble approach with my patients by easily explaining the work that I do to them and making small talk with them to put them at ease while in my care. This helps reduce their stress levels and relaxes them while images are taken. I also try to explain any next steps that may occur during their imaging process and I always thank them at the end of our time together."

"I think that I show that I am a humble colleague by being approachable to my co-workers and being sympathetic to their needs. I never put my own personal needs on the job first and always try to take a collaborative, team-based approach when I can in my work. With the patients that I see on my unit, my humility is projected through the empathetic approach I take with each patient on an individual level. I get to know them through conversation and use those conversations to help put patients at ease. If I ever need to explain things that I am doing with them, I use simple Layman's terms to ensure that they understand."

I would identify with the value of humility as that is a trait that people I know well can see in me and in my practice. I am receptive to any feedback given to me. When I make mistakes I know I can learn from every situation and this is what allows me to grow professionally and personally.
Marcie's Feedback
Great! The interviewer will appreciate that others view you as being full of humility, open to feedback, and willing to make changes. You might also talk in additional detail about how humility means that you're aware of your own limitations and weaknesses so when you occasionally make a mistake you view it in a positive light - as a way to improve and become better. Good job!
