The interviewer wants to learn more about why you chose the healthcare industry. This question is very personal, so briefly give the interviewer some insight into what motivated you to pursue this path. Perhaps you interacted with a healthcare professional in the past who had an impact on you, or maybe you have family or friends who have been in the role who inspired you, or maybe you just like being a part of a team that cares for others. If you have a unique story that led to your decision, feel free to share that and give a meaningful answer that demonstrates your passion for the field.

"I've always been interested in science and the medical field, and I have many administrative skills, so I pursued a path in healthcare administration. I enjoy helping others and being a part of a team, and I found that healthcare connects both of those passions. I'm very outgoing and enjoy working with the public and meeting new people, so this environment is ideal for me. I plan to remain in healthcare for many years as I expand my skill set and perhaps eventually pursue additional certifications."

"Growing up, my mother and cousin were nurses at the local hospital. I was introduced to the work they did at a very young age, and that exposure attracted me to the field. I explored this interest further in secondary school by taking some healthcare-related classes. I also volunteered at the hospital to gain experience and solidify my interest in this career. I completed my nursing program this past spring and can't wait to start working. I love working with people of all ages, and I find such fulfillment in helping others!"
