Make sure you do your homework before your interview. Knowing about the hospital will show the interviewer that you are interested in their particular position and not just floating your resume. First, mention their goals and mission and how they relate to yours. You should read their "Mission Statement" and/or "Vision" which is usually posted on the landing page of the hospital website. You might want to paraphrase those values in them as being yours and that you find theirs to align with yours. Talk about any awards and accreditations the hospital has. Reviewing the sites annual reports is another excellent way to brush up on the impact their facility is making.

"I know that the organization has been serving patients in the community for about fifty years and has a great reputation for quality care. I did some research online and read that you have won many awards in patient care and safety, and that is really impressive to me. I also read many positive employee reviews, and it seems like the culture is very collaborative and positive, which is exactly what I'm looking for in my next company."

"From my research, it looks like the hospital has grown tremendously since being founded in 1955. It's really such an accomplishment to have over 6,0000 employees and to have won such awards as the "Best Employer for Diversity" and to be named one of Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care in 2022!"

"Over my years of experience as an anesthesiologist I have worked with many medical professionals who trained through your hospital. Reputation is important to me, and these other professionals make a powerful statement to me, which is why I have continued to keep a pulse on new openings at your facility. I am also aware that your hospital consists of 5 large facilities as well as 23 satellite clinics over two states, so the breadth and depth of your services is very attractive to me. Your facilities are growing at a rapid pace, and I'd be very excited to join the team."
