Question 22 of 30

If a walk-in arrived at your office for an initial visit but had no appointment and you were really busy, how would you make time for the potential patient?

Because you have an awesome administrative team you'll look to them to help you find room in your schedule to see this patient. Let the interviewer know that you'll take a few minutes to introduce yourself to the patient, explain that there are no openings but that you will do your best to see them as soon as possible. Relay to the interviewer that you will want to give the patient as much information about the wait to avoid any grumpy patients. You can also let the interviewer know that you can see if other staff members can step in and assist to help free up some time in your schedule.

      Answer Example

      "My administrative staff has 4- 15 minute time blocks built into my schedule for situations just like that. If these time blocks aren't used for walk-ins I'm able to utilize them for administrative time."

      "I never want to turn away anybody who needs help. That being said, it also is not fair to take away time from patients who are on my schedule. The first thing I would do is introduce myself to the patient and explain that there is no opening, but I will do my best to see them as soon as possible. I would also look to my coworkers to see if anyone else had free time to help out."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      This is a fair approach and one that shows you care about the people who come to you for help.
