We are highly regulated by the FDA and other entities. What experience do you have working with regulatory bodies in your previous work?
Because of their strong foothold in many aspects of direct patient care, Philips Healthcare has to comply with regulations from many different entities. According to their policy on interactions with US-based healthcare providers and professionals, these entities include the FDA, Medicare, and others. No matter what role you are interviewing for at Philips Healthcare, you will be required to complete compliance training and likely have to be aware and comply with certain regulations relating to your work.
"With my current company, I work on a team that includes a few people in government relations on the device I manage. I work with our engineers and scientists to prove and test all the claims we are making about our product. The government relations team has regular contact with FDA, but I support their work to make sure we have approval."
"I have never worked in the medical device space, but my company has other regulatory bodies that have regulations we need to follow, so I am accustomed to reporting and adhering to certain standards. I'm currently required to take annual compliance training, and I'm confident I could quickly learn all the elements regarding Philips Healthcare's regulatory compliance."

I have never worked in a medical device company. Still, I have worked with medical devices at the nursing home as well as in my laboratory internship, where we have regulations that need to be followed. Therefore I am used to reporting to and adhering to specific standards.
