OB GYN Mock Interview

Master 20 OB GYN interview questions covering clinical scenarios, patient care, and ethical dilemmas.

WRITTEN BY AUDRA KRESINSKE
QUESTION 12 OF 20

Are there any substance abuse, domestic violence, or other background items that could impact the integrity of our hospital (or group)?

Such situations are a reason for running away from a current situation. If there is such a damaging component in your history, own it and explain the steps you took to eliminate the risk of it recurring, i.e., rehab, successfully completed therapy, etc. Let the interviewer know you are comfortable with a probationary period or supervision, if deemed necessary.
The most likely answer, of course, is 'no'. However, for the sake of example, here is a sample answer of someone with a DUI history:

"I have a DUI arrest in my past as a teenager. I do not have a problem with abuse, but my arrest required I partake in prevention programs, which I completed successfully."
