Advancements in medicine occur every day. Clinical trials are essential to determine the effectiveness of new medications and treatments. People have varying opinions about who should be allowed to participate in clinical trials, especially when it comes to children. There is really no wrong answer to this question. If you are familiar with any clinical trial or its outcome, this would be a good time to share some of that experience with the interviewer.

"I think the varying degrees of growth in the medical field are wonderful. I understand that people have different views regarding clinical trials and, not having personal experience with trials, I feel like my opinion may not hold much weight. As a healthcare provider, I would like to think anything we can do to help give someone an opportunity of having a longer life and better health is worth trying. Clinical trials are the last hope for some people."
