"I feel very fortunate that I was raised in a very diverse part of our country, getting to experience the cultures of many of my close friends growing up. Diversity in the healthcare industry is essential because people need care based on cultural differences. I love that Loma Linda has a plan to ensure that underrepresented people can grow and achieve the same as all other people, and this is quite evident from the team I have met with today. This is certainly a culture that I would love to be a part of."

First and foremost, take the time to read about Loma Linda UMC"s diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic plan and study how they put that plan into action daily. This will allow you to come to your interview prepared to discuss how you will bring a supportive and empowering mindset to this role. If you have experience working in a culturally diverse atmosphere, now is a great time to talk about that experience and how you grew from it.
