"Throughout my life, I've valued diversity and inclusion, and this rings true with the patients that I treat. If I treated a patient with different beliefs, I would listen to the patient so I could hear where they are coming from and why they feel the way they do. If a cultural difference made the patient hesitant about a particular treatment, I would do my best to educate them sensitively and offer alternatives that would work with their values and beliefs. In the end, I would strive to do what is best for the patient in a manner that works the best for them."

Explain to your interviewers that you will take a fair and balanced approach with any patient you work with as an Anesthesiologist. Point out that you can never know the entire story of a patient and that you are there to serve, help, and protect patients rather than judge them. Emphasize the value you put on diversity in the workplace.
