Have you ever witnessed a peer doing or saying something inappropriate? How did you react in that situation?

"I currently work out of a large shared office with my physician colleagues and CRNAs. Depending on the time of day and day of the week, it can be a very busy place. One of my colleagues has been very lackadaisical in the past about leaving his computer screen up with our EMR and patient notes in full view when he walks away. Knowing that he is in direct violation of patient privacy and HIPAA, I immediately lock his computer down when I notice this. I've also talked with him a few times about our institutional policies on this. Over the past year, he has been very good about not leaving patient information up on his computer when walks away and locks it down as well."

Before your interview, put some thought into an ethical dilemma you have faced in your career that involved the actions of a colleague or team member. Remember that this example can be from practice or residency. Outline the situation and the swift action you took to make it right. Whether you confronted the colleague directly or decided to take it up the chain of command, discuss why you took that action.
