Think about a time you educated someone on a hard-to-grasp topic, and walk your interviewers through your teaching process. Keep in mind that fellows must utilize available technology in providing education and that customizing your approach to others' learning styles is important.

"A few months ago, I worked with a patient recently diagnosed with HIV. He refused to take his antiretroviral medication. Of course, I knew the consequences of not taking the ART medication could be fatal, so I spent time with the patient discussing the real-life impact of noncompliance. My approach was caring and respectful, but I didn't hesitate to talk about the fatal consequences. During the conversation, I learned that the patient was resistant because he didn't understand how the medication worked or why he had to take so much of it. I offered explanations about how the medications worked using relatable comparisons, stopping frequently to assess his understanding and see if he had questions. By the time I left, the patient agreed to stay compliant until our next visit."
