As part of the more extensive Stanford Health System and Stanford University, Stanford Hospital is an academic institution that trains tomorrow's physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. For this question, your direct experience working with medical students isn't as important as your willingness to do so and that you see the importance of this.

"As a fairly new nurse, I knew that I wanted to be involved in the academic side of nursing after I participated in the Stanford Health nurse residency program. The training I received with the organization was top-notch, and I'd love to be able to pay this forward to the future of the nursing field. What opportunities would I have in the ICU to work with rotating nursing students?"

"With my current organization, I have the wonderful opportunity to work alongside psychiatry residents in our program. The residents are great to work with because they often bring fresh ideas to behavioral health patient care. They also look to me for my knowledge as an experienced Psychotherapist. We learn a lot from each other to provide the best care possible, and I look forward to any opportunities to work with residents or other students in the behavioral health setting here at Stanford Hospital."

If you have direct experience training students, be sure to talk about the capacity in which you worked. More importantly, talk about why academics in medicine is essential and be sure to show an openness to working with the future of the medical field. To seal the deal for your interviewer, think back to your training in your job and talk about how your mentors positively impacted you.
