BEHAVIOURAL INTERVIEW
QUESTIONS
 Talk about the situation when you were the main witness of leaking of medical information from
any hospital. What do you do at that time?
When I am working in a reputed hospital on 26th March 2018, I remember an incident which took
place with mine. I saw one physician is stealing the prescription of a service user from the
laboratory. I have been the main witness of this incident as I was standing beside the lab room
and behind the stairs. At that time I would be reporting to the top management regarding the
incident.
The HR manager checks about the problem solving skills and how the interviewee will deal with
the situation.
 Have you ever been in disagreement in the context of diagnosis with the physician. What do
you do at that time?
Yes I have been in disagreement in the context of diagnosis with the physician. I was not satisfied
with the medical treatment given to a service users suffering from cancer. At that stage the
service users do not want the diagnosis but the physician want that the diagnosis should be
done immediately.
By asking this question we understood its passion, proper judgment and analytical skills.
 How you will contribute to the experience of patients?
I would contribute to the experience of the patients by asking and communicating regarding the
treatment and medications the service user is taking it.
By asking this question I want to uncover the emotional skills and how compassionate is the
candidate. I hope to learn the commitment of the candidate towards the patient’s responses.

SITUATIONAL INTERVIEW
QUESTIONS
 Assume a situation where a patient needs more antibiotics. What you will do in this situation?
A patient who was under my supervision wants more antibiotics. The patient is suffering from
lung disease and the patient needs much more antibiotics than the normal dosage to make the
patient heal quickly.
This question tells us that the candidate can be able to provide the right education and how they
approach towards prescribing it.
 Assume a situation where a service user is not responding positively to the sufficient
medications given to the service user. What you will do at this time?
At the time when the service user is not responding positively to the sufficient situation, then I
need to consult with my physician who was taking charge of the patient and want to get some
confidential information from the service user.
By asking this we want to test its verbal communication and negotiation skills for the candidate.
 Assume a situation where you have done exceptionally well for the patient
I am in a situation where the patient is suffering from dementia and I was taking charge of the
patient. Due to dementia I observed some strange behaviors and have the tendency of
committing suicide. At this time I have made the patient to stay with me for some days in order
to observe the attitude of the patient.
By asking this I would like to learn the positive attitude and how the candidate can be able to
interact with the patients. I am looking to uncover the adaptability skills of the candidate.
