"I recognize that the elderly are the most vulnerable when it comes to timely follow-up for medical conditions, and I intend to institute in my practice an aggressive follow-up program of call-backs and other correspondence, involving next of kin, and even transportation opportunities when necessary."
"I want to introduce a program in my practice that allows high school students to shadow what a health care provider does everyday, either by patient consent or HIPAA-compliant methods. I always knew I wanted to be a physician, but I would have loved to have had such an experience early, during my formative high school years."
All entities which consider themselves 'responsible' like to be seen as supportive of the 'community,' as well as embracing diversity, inclusivity, and the other buzzwords in today's YELPscape in which social media holds them accountable. However, the reality casts doubt on what social media puts out as fact, so espousing these admirable things is different from actually living them. Thus, it may be hypocritical for the interviewer to expect these things when his or her own facility may at times ignore them. But...you have to answer as if you embrace these things. Regardless of the reality as it applies to them, they want to hear it from you. So just say it for them.
"I intend to look long and hard at the health care underserved in the community and will take an active role in doing my part to correct inequities by participating in your facility's outreach screening programs."
