The interviewer wants to hear that you can accept constructive feedback and learn from that feedback. Accepting feedback is an excellent quality to have and shows that you can take criticism and compliments. Describe one area your previous supervisor said you could improve and how you handled the criticism. Be truthful when responding, and be sure not to speak poorly of your supervisor.

"My previous supervisor critiqued the time it took me to abstract a medical record when I first started. The employee before me could do the same work in half the time that it took me. He mentioned that I needed to speed things up and learn how to read faster. I explained that I was new to the profession and it would take me more time at first to read a medical record, but that once I had more experience, I would be faster. In just a few months, I was much faster than when I started, and he never criticized me again."
