What would you do if you witnessed another fellow or colleague acting unethically?

"If I see another fellow or colleague act unethically, I will refer to how I was trained to report ethical issues. First, I would ensure that I could identify the breach of ethics and determine the severity of the nature of the breach. If I witnessed a serious breach, I would identify the proper supervisor or faculty member who should be made aware of the breach and bring it to them as soon as possible. I have a clear set of moral values and will not turn a blind eye to any breach of ethics in the clinic or hospital from any staff member."

If you were trained in medical school or your residency training on taking a specific course of action when dealing with ethical dilemmas, now is the time to mention that. If not, you should create your own standard for ethics issues. Ask the interview panel if they have a system for reporting ethics issues at their institution. This will show that you have an interest in joining their program.
