15. University Hospitals holds diversity as one of our core values. How do you approach handling diversity in people, thought, experiences and perspective in your work?
How to Answer
To really nail down your answer to this question, think about the factors in which University Hospitals consider diversity: people, thought, experiences and perspectives and think about how you consider these things during your workday with both colleagues and patients. Speak to your interviewer as to why you feel a difference in backgrounds leads to difference in thoughts, opinions and overall knowledge and how these things really make a team effort more complete. On the patient side of things, talk about your feelings about diversity and why it is important to you.

1st Answer Example
"Being born and raised in rural Ohio, I wasn't really exposed to people outside of my own cultural upbringing until I came to college in the Cleveland area. Seeing new perspectives and though processes for the first time in my life in training to be a nurse, my mind was really opened up to a new and exciting world where I was learning from others and they were learning from me. I really feel like I've become a better worker and a better overall person in this diverse atmosphere and I look forward to continuing this in a career with University Hospitals."

2nd Answer Example
"Having worked in diverse atmospheres and with very diverse populations of patients throughout my career, my approach is the same with every person. I treat every person as a respectable human being deserving of my full care, no matter the color of their skin or their social status. I keep an open mind when I care for patients from different backgrounds than me and I truly appreciate getting to work with these patients because it allows me the opportunity to see life from a different perspective while enhancing my skills at the same time."
