26. Have you ever been accused of malpractice?
How to Answer
Malpractice is defined as 'improper, illegal, or negligent professional activity or treatment, especially by a medical practitioner, lawyer, or public official.' It is important to recognize that the interviewer is asking if you have been accused, not convicted. Although many people would like to shy away from this question, if there is anything that may be revealed later, it is important to be honest now.

Entry Level
"I have never been accused of malpractice. I strive to update my credentials based upon licensing requirements and to stay apprised of any new law or amendment that may affect the way I practice in an effort to protect both myself and my patients."

Answer Example
"I have not been formally accused of malpractice. When I was in my residency, I did have a patient who questioned some of my team's practices and threatened to report us to a supervisor. There has never been any other occasion like this in my career."
