This is one of the most common questions asked to physicians during interviews. The medical profession is held in high regard by many and it is perceived as a noble career path. However, some also see it as a lucrative livelihood. Employers want to hire physicians who regard the profession as the former. Interview panels at hospitals do not enjoy hearing doctors say that they’ve joined the profession for the money. A satisfactory answer would be to say earnestly that you desire to help other people by dedicating yourself to preserving human life.
