"Yes, I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds. I think one of the great things about the healthcare industry is that we have people from all backgrounds and walks of life who come together with the common interest in caring for others. I try to take advantage of opportunities to meet people and learn about them as much as possible."

Some people are intimidated when faced with learning new cultures and beliefs, but as a medical office manager, you will likely have subordinates from different backgrounds. It is crucial for you to be willing to accept diversity while performing your job responsibly. The interviewer wants to know that you are open to being supportive of those from diverse backgrounds and that you will be able to be a leader by example for others working with you.

"The diversity of people that I get to work with is one thing I love about the healthcare industry. I like the idea of being in a career that challenges me to learn and grow. I believe we all have something that we can contribute to others and I like to embrace the diversity among those that I work with."
