How would you rate your knowledge of medical terminology?
A thorough understanding of medical terminology will make you a more desirable candidate when applying for the medical secretary role with the NHS. Speak about your knowledge and experience in this area and any courses or classes you may have taken. If you lack skills in this area, demonstrate to the interviewer your willingness to learn and your ability to self-help and learn new information quickly.
"On a scale of 1-5, I would rate my knowledge of medical terminology a 4.5. I have worked in healthcare for ten years in a hospital and GP's office, so I've built an extensive vocabulary and a thorough understanding of medical terms, acronyms, and jargon. On the rare occasion I do not recognize a word or acronym, I'm quick to look it up on the internet or in the medical dictionary I keep in my desk drawer."
