This honesty-based question tests your character and reveals how you deal with awkward or uncomfortable situations. As a student at Tulane University Medical School, it is essential to adhere to the Code of Academic Conduct. Cheating is not tolerated and is considered unethical. It can have serious consequences, including damaging the student's reputation and future career opportunities. It can also harm those who are impacted by the cheating. The university advises reporting alleged cheating violations directly to faculty members and not taking matters into your own hands with the classmate you discovered cheating.

If you have found yourself in a situation like this, you can draw on that story for your reply. Be careful not to name any names or throw anyone under the bus, as you can rarely recover from undesirable behavior like that in an interview.
