Diversity among peers and clients should be expected when working for a CRO. Some people are intimidated when faced with learning new cultures and beliefs, but in the healthcare industry, it is crucial to provide effective care. The interviewer wants to know that you are open to meeting and learning about new people and becoming an integral part of the team. Be positive with your response.

I believe that diversity is essential in Healthcare. I have been fortunate to meet several people from different countries and cultures in my line of job. In class too, I have several of my classmates from different countries and I get to learn about their culture and beliefs.

Nice! It sounds like you've experienced diversity both at work and in school, which is great. How have you benefited from this diversity? You might also mention other types of diversity outside of cultural and racial, including a variety of academic and experience levels, ages, and genders.
