"I understand that the only reason a physician should withhold information from a patient is under the premise of therapeutic privilege. This concept describes situations where a patient could be a threat to themselves if the physician fully disclosed the details of their medical situation. This is generally referring to the patient being a psychological threat to themselves. Although there is support for this idea, I do not feel that it should be exercised unless the case is extreme. Physicians have a fiduciary duty to their patients, which must be taken seriously."

Therapeutic privilege is also known as therapeutic nondisclosure, which is defined as withholding relevant health information from the patient if nondisclosure is believed to be in the patient's best interest. When responding to this question, you want to show the interviewers that you value honesty and know when to withhold information if it could harm the patient.
