If you don't plan on managing chronic pain, this answer is simple; but if you do, your interviewer will want to know about it, because the opioid crisis makes bad publicity from overdoses and institutions and groups don't want controversy. Even less, they don't want extra scrutiny from the DEA and your state board. Know that you're being asked whether you're participating in controversial practices.

"As an Endocrinologist and an Internist, I have a responsibility to believe my patient's self-report of pain, and I feel comfortable prescribing according to my patient's need in any acute setting, I don't see myself managing chronic pain but, instead, referring him or her a rheumatologist, physiatrist, anesthesiologist, or other pain management specialist."
