The interviewer wants to know what area outside of your profession you would like to gain more knowledge because many companies like to hire within. They want to know that your passions align well with what Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital offers and that maybe in the future, they could move you to an open position in an area that interests you. Talk to the interviewer about which specialty service area you would like to learn more about and why.

"If I could expand my expertise in any healthcare service area I would choose anything within pediatric care. I am interested in this specialty because I would get to know families more personally, and I could enjoy watching young children grow up. This is one of the reasons I have applied to your company. I feel that your focus will be a great fit with my long-term career goals."

"I am interested in learning more about dementia, Alzheimer's, and memory disorders. I know quite a bit after caring for my grandmother, who had dementia which progressed to Alzheimer's. However, with the ongoing advancements in this area, I'm sure there is still a lot for me to learn. This area interests me because I know how hard it is for the families of these patients, and I would like to help educate them on what to expect as the disease progresses."
