Healthcare is a very broad term. If the interviewer is phrasing the question this way, they are likely willing to train you if necessary and are hoping to find out more about your experience.

Be honest with your answer but truly, consider the breadth of what you can consider 'healthcare experience' before answering no. If you have been the primary caretaker of a family member or managed a doctor's office, both of those roles will have given you insight into medical terminology and processes that could be transferable.

Avoid asking for clarification or for them to be more specific. If an interviewer feels you have not given a clear enough response, they will ask you to specify. Until then, use the vague question to your advantage and highlight whatever experience you can, that is most relevant to the question asked!

"I'm no doctor but I am a Father to three teenagers and have helped guide my mother through cancer treatment. Those experiences are actually why I want to move into medical sales. I am passionate about helping make the latest and best treatments accessible to more people. Knowing my personal talents, I think medical sales is the best way for me to help with that."

Yes, I have worked in the healthcare industry for seven years in the hospital setting as a physical therapist assistant. I have developed skills such as communication with all members of the staff including nurses, physicians, and surgeons. As a therapist, we are responsible for treating patients acutely after procedures and determining if the patient is safe to discharge home or needs further therapy.
