Pedi Clinic interview coming up

[Meerkats]

Hi all. I'm transitioning from pediatric home health to something more stable. I have an interview with a pediatric clinic next week. This particular clinic does well-child, preventative care, and some urgent care type appointments, so I feel like it will be a good balance of cases.

I have found some interview questions and answers in this forum, but I still have some questions, and want some other perspectives. Also, what types of questions should I ask them?

Any other interview tips would be appreciated!

I just started working in a peds clinic as a new grad. My interview was pretty straight forward - the one thing they did ask me about that I wasn't thinking of was telephone triage. They wanted to know how I would handle taking calls. Essentially, what they were looking for was that if there was a situation I wasn't comfortable giving advice on, that I would take a message, ask someone who knows more than me, and then return the call.

In terms of questions to ask - I asked about continuing education.

Good luck!

Do you like your position? I was offered a position in a peds clinic and while I think I would like it, I am afraid of the monotony ...
