At Medtronic, every employee has to have basic knowledge of what the medical devices do; if you don't understand basic anatomy and the medical conditions associated with the devices, you can't see the big picture. Tell the interviewer about your background in human anatomy or science so they see your intellectual horse-power.

"I started my college career wanting to be a physical therapist. I took all of the basics in chemistry, biology, and anatomy. As I went on, though, I realized that my passion for business outweighed my passion for hands-on patient care."

When I was in college, I took classes in Human Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, and Biology. After I joined Boston Scientific and worked as a manufacturing engineer, I have become curious about medical device products and human anatomy. I would search online and looked at some of the medical device products that work and how they improve our lives. At the same time, I would search online about the human body, refresh my memory, and re-educate myself about the different functions of the human body.

You do a great job of highlighting your previous coursework in health sciences and anatomy. You may wish to add a conclusion sentence to this response, such as, "While I have a solid understanding of health sciences and anatomy, I am always eager to learn more."

Throughout my degree, I took a class in anatomy and physiology with accompanying labs and a class in cell biology. These were some of my favorite classes because I enjoyed learning how everything works in the body and why. It was also interesting to relate what I'd learned to my daily life.
