You should never have a problem with any policy of the place to which you're applying. A good example is a Catholic hospital that won't do provide pregnancy termination counseling. Before you interview, you should decide whether you can practice under such constraints. Luckily, seldom are there any stipulations that will ruin your life.

"I wouldn't seek a position here if I had a problem with that. My only professional stipulation is that I can treat any person who needs my services and be allowed to do what is best for him or her."
