Hi guys,
I did a mock interview at my state school and came across a couple cultural questions I had a hard time answering. This was a MMI, and I wanted to post the questions and see what you guys come up with and maybe these will help you brainstorm for future interviews. I don't have a lot of experience with diverse cultures, and the mock interviewers appreciated my attempt to answer and my honestly when I exposed this fact.
1. You take a job at a cherokee reservation, and many of the people use cherokee medicine. How would you integrate their native and traditional medicine when working here. What implications or considerations are there? What must you consider before going out there?
2. You are treating an elderly man that speaks no english, you found out he has a terminal cancer. His life could be extended with treatment. His daughter has been translating your conversations, she doesn't want you to tell him about the cancer. What do you do? (I thought I answered this well, but when I got the email feedback it seems I didn't do as well as I had thought)
