The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have the education needed to perform your job as a healthcare professional in your chosen field. They want to hear if you have a degree, certificates, or specialized training that qualifies you to work in this industry.

Focus on describing your education as it relates to the position. Most healthcare professional jobs require a minimum of a bachelor's degree and/or specialized certification and work experience to apply for the position. You most likely have the necessary education and credentials, or you would not be invited to an interview. Assure the interviewer you have the required qualifications for the position.
