Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are designated as mandatory reporters of child abuse and domestic abuse in most states. Working as an Anesthesiologist in emergency and surgical environments may put you face to face with a victim of abuse. Your interviewer wants to know that you are aware of the mandatory reporter laws in the state that you are interviewing in and that you know the telltale signs of abuse.

Before your interview, do some quick research on the mandatory reporting laws in the state you are interviewing. That will enable you to speak confidently with your interviewer. Then, walk through the steps you would take as a mandatory reporter. Keep in mind that many large healthcare institutions have procedures/guidelines in place for these situations, so you should be mindful of this as you answer.

"As an Anesthesiologist in Florida, I understand that I would be a mandated reporter for child abuse, vulnerable adult abuse, and sexual battery. First, I would ensure that my suspicions were confidentially confirmed by another member of my care team. Then, once we confirmed the suspected abuse, I would walk through any institutional procedures to ensure a report was filed with the state DCF promptly."
