Vanderbilt University Medical Center has a diverse workforce. When have you worked among a diverse group of people?

"I have worked with diverse groups of people most of my career, including my time in University. I am most comfortable and happy in this environment because it offers me unique learning opportunities."

"I am so glad you pointed out your need for diversity at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. I greatly value diversity. I grew up in a fairly homogeneous town in Montana. When I hit my 20s, it was so important to me to learn about other cultures. I worked with community volunteer organizations in Peru, inner-city Chicago, and Russia. I was happy to have that exposure and loved learning how other people live. I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of your diverse workforce."

If you have worked with diverse groups either at work or in school, describe your experience, highlighting your enjoyment of working with various groups of people. If you have not been exposed to much diversity, explain your background and why you have not worked with diverse groups. Then, describe your eagerness to learn about different cultures and meet new people with varying backgrounds.
