-
Use clinical and nonclinical experiences in your responses, as appropriate.
-
Provide detailed and specific examples and try to avoid speaking in generalities. Typically, one strong example is better than several weak or tangential examples.
-
Provide a complete response to each question. In general, when responding to:
-
Behavioral questions, share past experiences using the STAR format described in the “How to Prepare – Virtual or In-Person” section by discussing the situation or task you encountered, the actions you took, the outcome of your actions, and what you learned.
-
Situational questions, discuss the actions you should take, why you should take those actions, and what you would expect the result of your actions to be.
|
-
Do not provide patient information that could be used separately or in combination to identify a patient, such as names, locations, diagnoses, or other distinguishing characteristics. Refer to a patient as “the patient.”
-
If your response may portray a colleague in a negative light, do not provide information that could be used separately or in combination to identify that colleague, such as a name, title, location, or other distinguishing characteristic.
