There is more than one reason for asking this question. First, the interviewer wants to know what qualities you think are important to perform this job. Second, and most importantly, your answer will tell the interviewer if you hold yourself to the same standard as you do others. If you want to see certain characteristics in your peers, you should be able to tell the interviewer with confidence that you possess those traits, as well. This question is one that interviewers often use to distinguish sincerity on the part of the candidate.

"We all possess different qualities and that is what makes a great team. If I were responsible for interviewing and hiring new employees,I would look for someone who has a genuine interest in the job and a desire to grow and learn. None of us knows everything there is to know about each disease or treatment. Being willing to learn and share what we've learned with one another makes us a better team and benefits our patients and those who will need care in the future."

"I believe it is important for healthcare professionals to be honest and committed. I feel we must always be respectful to our team and our patients and this occurs by being honest with them. Likewise, we must be committed both to our team and to our patients. Providing comprehensive, safe patient care requires a full team approach and we must stay committed to one another to ensure we are able to provide that care to patients. We also need to be committed to our patients because they are allowing us the opportunity to care for them."
