Focus on ensuring the interviewers understand you are a compassionate person. You can say you are compassionate, but giving an example where you have helped others is a better way to let them know. For example, you can describe your volunteer experience, how you cared for an elderly relative, or comforted a grieving family member. Give your personal example that shows you have compassion for others.

"Yes, I am a very compassionate person and have been my entire life. I was always the one to bring stray animals home and give my lunch to those less fortunate than me. I believe you need to be compassionate and empathetic to work in this field and feel honored to have the opportunity to provide compassion to my patients and their family members."
