What do you know about our organization and what interests you in a practice here?
The interviewer asks you this question to see if you did your homework on the organization or are merely floating your resume. Be sure to read up on the organization you are interviewing with and have a few questions prepared. Ideally, your interviewer wants to hear that you see their organization as a match for your professional goals and personal values, so be sure to talk about both of these pieces as you answer this question.
"As I embarked on a search to find my dream practice in ENT, I made a shortlist of health systems that I'd like to work with. Your organization was at the top of my list due to our values closely aligning. I know that your facility is a nationally recognized hospital that is known for service excellence. When my sister was sick a few years ago, she was admitted to the ER and told me that she had an outstanding experience, given the situation. I am personally drawn to the fact that your organization invests back in patient care and the communities where you care for patients."
"I know that your facility is top of the line when it comes to technological advancements and research in patient care. I have always been enamored with research into improving patient care, and I would be honored to work in such an advanced hospital environment."
"I have followed your facility's achievements for some time now. I have many industry acquaintances who have excellent things to say about your hospital. I know that you are the number one hospital in the state for providing excellent care and that you have incredible community support throughout the region. All of these factors are things I am looking for in my next opportunity."
