This is a simple question that will speak volumes to the interviewer. With so many career choices available, the interviewer is curious to know what made you choose this profession. If you experienced something in your past that made you appreciate a healthcare provider, share that experience. This is a perfect opportunity for the interviewer to know you on a personal level.

"When my son was born, he had to be in the neonatal intensive care unit for the first two weeks of his life. I watched those nurses and doctors attend him with such care and concern, as if he was their baby. Something about their gentleness with him and their compassion toward me and my family made me realize what a difference healthcare providers can make. From that time forward, I began to pursue my career in the healthcare industry and I will never look back!"
