The interview question bank

Sample answer outline

1. 1Choose a disagreement about substance (a plan, a process, safety), not a personality clash.
2. 2Show you checked yourself first: did you have the full picture?
3. 3Describe raising it respectfully and privately, with facts and a suggestion.
4. 4Give the result, and show you accepted the decision or escalated only when the stakes justified it.
5. 5Reflect on what you learned about speaking up.

Sample answer outline

1. 1Recognize it as a privacy breach and a professionalism issue, so act quickly.
2. 2Talk to your classmate privately and ask them to take it down now. Explain that even "anonymous" images can identify a patient.
3. 3If they refuse, or it has spread, tell the course lead or privacy office. The school may need to act.
4. 4Keep it proportionate: it may be a lapse in judgment, not malice. Suggest a refresher on social media policy.

Sample answer outline

1. 1Don't look at it, and say so.
2. 2Find out what you can without spreading it: is it really the exam, and how widely is it shared?
3. 3Encourage the classmate to stop and come forward.
4. 4Tell the course director either way. The exam's fairness affects everyone, and future patients depend on honest assessment.
5. 5Stay fair: you're reporting facts, not judging the person.

Sample answer outline

1. 1Choose a private moment and open with care: "I've noticed you've been late a few times. Is everything OK?"

4. 4Agree on something concrete together, and say you'd need to involve the manager if it keeps happening.
