Are you familiar with any of Mayo Clinic's core values?

"I have researched Mayo Clinic's core values to make sure we would be a cultural match; the core values are respect, integrity, teamwork, compassion, healing, innovation, and excellence. I'm most passionate about teamwork and excellence. I think Mayo Clinic has a lot to offer in the way of skilled clinicians with diverse backgrounds and experience. It's also important to me to deliver the highest quality care through standards of excellence in education and patient safety."

Mayo Clinic commonly asks interview questions relating to their core values. Check out their website and familiarize yourself with the eight core values (respect, integrity, teamwork, compassion, healing, innovation, excellence) and their supporting statements. The interviewer wants to see if you've done your research before the interview and if you would align well with their core values. Briefly discuss the values you identify with and why they are essential to you.
