The interviewer wants to see if you are willing to earn your way up if they do not offer you top compensation. Discuss with the interviewer what you would expect for compensation if offered this position. Remember that you have two years of experience preceded by years of medical training. Even though you do not have five years of experience, you need to be compensated fairly for your knowledge and education. Focus on negotiating what you think would be fair compensation while showing your willingness to work your way up the ladder

"I understand I do not quite meet the qualifications of experience you are looking for and am willing to be compensated in adjustment to that fact. However, I look forward to proving my worth to Texas Children's Hospital in hopes of being considered for the median salary for the role."

"I would be happy to earn my way to the top compensation level if required. I assure you that, despite my being shy of your desired experience by a couple of years, I am a top performer, and you would not be disappointed in my performance."
