19. Talk to me about your daily technician related activities from when you come in and leave the facility.
How to Answer
This is a great way to tell the interviewer about your daily routine at work. By answering this question cleverly, you can indirectly speak to your strengths - organization skills, time management, etc. Discuss your current daily schedule, focus especially on what your favorite part of patient care is.

1st Answer Example
"I am usually the first to come to the clinic- I open the clinic doors and start reviewing upcoming patient schedule so that I can make sure nothing is missing on their record and I review cases prior to patient encounters.
When the doctors and other BHT start to come in, I ask if there is something pertinent that needs to be taken care of for that day - if there are any projects that they need my help with.
After the administrative tasks are done, I start my group or private therapy sessions. This is the favorite part of my day because I am actively interacting with patients and finding solutions to their problems.
After my sessions are over, I review my notes to make sure that I did not miss anything and that all patient files are updated. I then discuss action items and treatment plans with the physicians. I also double check the system to make sure that the patient follow-ups are scheduled appropriately."

"My day starts with reviewing my calendar, notes for the day's clients and my prioritized to-do list. My day ends with finalizing my notes, collaborating with staff and reviewing my calendar and to-do list for the following day."
