Our program prides itself on offering inclusive, non-discriminatory care. Do you agree with our approach?
The interviewers ask this question to ensure that you understand their program's approach to care. They want to ensure that you agree with their vision and that your beliefs are inclusive of all. If you disagree that everyone should be included and not discriminated against, the interviewers will determine you may not be a good match for their residency program. Assure the interviewers that you accept all cultures and beliefs, even if they may not align with yours. The interviewers want residents who are open-minded and inclusive of all.
"Yes, I completely agree with your approach. There is no room for discrimination anywhere, especially in healthcare. We care for patients at their most vulnerable moments, and it should not matter to anyone if they have different cultural or religious beliefs or come from different backgrounds. We are all human and must show each other empathy and compassion."
