Knowing your own values and Beliefs in OB

[Smeesha]

Today I had an interview on the OB floor, one of the questions that they asked me was "Why do you think that it is important to know your own values and beliefs while working in OB? I was a little stumped because all that came to my mind was the controversial issue of abortion, but I know there are more issues than just that one. Any ideas?
