I try to take advantage of opportunities to meet people and learn about them as much as possible."
In an industry as large as healthcare, diversity among peers is inevitable. To be successful, it is crucial to learn how to work with a diverse group of people.

The interviewer wants to know that you are open to meeting and learning about new people and becoming an integral part of the team. Be positive with your response.
