Sutter Health practices among a highly diverse population base, and 43% of the employees at the organization are ethnically diverse. For employees to thrive with Sutter, they must be able to work with a culturally and ethnically diverse group of people, and your interviewer will be looking to hear your ability to do this. Talk about how you value diversity and how it impacts how you interact with others in a positive light.

"The current department I work in is very culturally diverse, and I find working closely with my entire team to be stimulating and educational. We all come from different backgrounds, and our diversity brings many new and fresh ideas to our daily work. I truly appreciate this. From my own personal standpoint, I don't have to make any adjustments to my style as I treat all people with respect and openness."

"During my clinical rotations, I made it a point to experience working in an LGBTQ clinic setting, and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world. The experience opened my eyes and my ability to work with people with a completely different background and mindset than me. My biggest lesson was that even though people may be different on the outside, we are all the same on the inside, and all deserve the greatest healthcare possible. I did not need to adjust my style as I treat everyone with dignity and respect. Moving forward, I would love to provide this same compassionate care to this population with Sutter Health."

There are two parts to this question. Focus on discussing when you have worked with a diverse patient population or workforce. Then, describe if you had to make any adjustments to your style or treat everyone the same.
