"One incident I can recall was an elderly woman came into the clinic with repeated urinary tract infections. She was given prescriptions for the infection and taught on proper use of the medications and given instruction on ways to prevent the infection. Still, every time she came back for a follow-up appointment, she still had symptoms. After counseling with her and asking about her behavior patterns at home, we discovered she took daily baths with bath salts and perfumed soaps. She was educated on the ways that those things could irritate the urinary tract and could lead to infection. When she returned for her next follow-up, she was symptom free."

"I could probably tell you several stories. One example I can remember is when I was a new urologist. I had a patient with bladder prolapse. She didn't want surgery to correct the issue for quite a while. When the condition worsened, and with proper education and assurance, she finally decided to have corrective treatment and it resolved the issue."

As a medical professional working with patients you research problems on a daily basis. Tell the interviewer about a particular situation, how you researched the problem and what the outcome was. Tell the interviewer about a time that a patient came back to you because his symptoms weren't being relieved or the time that you discovered the patient was not taking his medications as prescribed.

"I had been treating a patient with sexual dysfunction for a few months and had to research because I couldn't seem to get his symptoms under control. After requesting the patient keep a journal of his activities, including when he took his medications, II was able to determine that the was not being compliant with his prescribed medication regimen and we educated on his plan of care and continued to monitor his progress."

These sound like solid examples but make sure to tell the interviewer why these specific health issues sometimes require re-evaluations or additional education. If possible, provide specific examples with lots of details.
