QUESTION 19 OF 20

Describe a time you went above and beyond for a patient or customer.

Graduate schools do not want to accept students that are only going to do the bare minimum. Show the interviewer that you can do more than expected, even if your work is not recognized. It is an excellent opportunity to show how you can take the initiative independently and put the patient first.

"When I was working in a rehabilitation center, we had one patient who did not have very many belongings. They were nearing the end of their rehab program and were going to be sent back to their home soon. I got together with some of my co-workers, and we put in money to get him some outfits and some shoes before his transfer to the new facility. It was gratifying to see how much joy and relief this simple act brought him, even if it was not directly medical services."
