Tell me about a time you managed a high volume of patient phone calls and portal messages. How did you prioritize?

Tell me about a time you worked with a provider who wanted things done differently than you were used to.

What they are checking: Whether they adapt to a provider's practice style while still raising safety concerns when needed.

What would you do

A patient on methotrexate calls and says they have a fever and mouth sores. What do you do?

Walk me through how you teach a patient to give their own injection of a biologic at home.

What they are checking: Whether they can teach a skill clearly, check return demonstration and cover storage and safety steps.

How do you handle prior authorizations and specialty pharmacy issues that delay a patient's medication?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the paperwork side of specialty drugs and can push it through so treatment is not interrupted.

How do you track lab monitoring for patients on drugs that need regular blood work?

What they are checking: Whether they have a reliable system so that required labs are not missed, which can prevent liver or blood problems.
