Focus your answer on showing the interviewer you genuinely care about helping your patients or working with like-minded individuals to achieve a common goal. You might enjoy working with patients and their families to make a difference in their mental health, mentoring new healthcare professionals, or seeing a patient overcome an illness and enjoy their life to the fullest. Whatever you enjoy the most, the interviewer wants to hear!
Avoid saying like the salary or benefits package most. If the interviewer doesn't feel that your heart is in the job and you are only concerned about money, they will look for a candidate in the profession for the right reasons.
