Six Sigma first came on the scene in the 1980s to improve the quality of a project by identifying what is not working. Lean Six Sigma is another methodology that adds lean thinking/waste elimination to a project approach. Depending on your educational background, you may have obtained a Six Sigma Belt, with the Belt levels being White, Yellow, Green, Black, and Master Black. The primary goal of your answer is to show your enthusiasm and openness to continual education and growth in your project management career.

"I have a masters' Degree in healthcare management as well as the internationally recognized PMP certification. I have put a lot of consideration into pursuing a Six Sigma certification; however, I have not worked for a company that found the certification to be necessary since they have all focused on other resources such as PMBOK. If you see value in Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma training, I am certainly willing to add this to my credentials. As far as I see it, there is no harm in continued education."

"I have obtained my Yellow Belt in Six Sigma and plan to work my way to a Master Black Belt in the coming years. With my Yellow Belt, I have built a solid foundation regarding the basics of Lean Six Sigma. I am eager to grow my project management skills."

If you are not certified or have training in Six Sigma, you want to avoid saying you do not have the training and have no desire to explore those options. Suppose you have no desire to advance your training and pursue professional growth. In that case, the interviewer will think you do not set goals and have the motivation to be a successful healthcare project manager.
