You may be asked to do unethical things as a healthcare professional. The interviewers ask this question to see that you are honest and have integrity. They want to hear that you have morals and can be trusted in your position. Some examples could be witnessing someone cheat or steal or being asked to do something you knew was morally wrong.

"My ethics were tested during my second year of medical school. A classmate asked me to help him cheat on a test because he had no time to study. Even though we were friends, I told him I could not ethically help him cheat and that, as physicians, we are held to a higher standard. After that, I found it very hard to be friends with him since I do not condone that behavior."
"On one occasion during school, the results of an examination were accidentally released to the class the day before the exam was administered. Most of the class discovered this error and began studying the answers. Obviously, the professor was unaware of the mishap and the class was prepared to take the examination anyways. This was a major ethical dilemma because while it would be wrong to know the answers to a test beforehand, it was ultimately the professor's error and most students were OK with staying quiet."
