There are many facets of health care. If you could choose any area of healthcare to specialize in, talk about which you would choose and why. The interviewer wants to see if you are interested in a different specialty area to see where your interests lie. Be sure to tie your answer into one of the specialty services offered at Sutter Health.

"If I could choose any area of healthcare services to be a subject matter expert in, I would choose senior services and geriatric care. I do feel that this particular focus is not as popular as some, and becoming an expert in it would allow me more opportunities in my career. I volunteer at a local assisted living facility once or twice weekly and enjoy being around the older generation."

"I have various interests within healthcare service, so that is a tough question for me! If I had to narrow it to just one area of expertise, I would say palliative care and advanced illness management. I see the benefits of palliative care to both patients and their family members, and I would like to learn more about that specialty service."

Many companies like to hire within to save money and time on interviewing, hiring, and training new employees. The interviewer wants to see if you are interested in another specialty area in case a job opens up, and Sutter Health could offer you that position.
