About your past
The posting talks about greeting patients warmly and setting the tone for their visit. How do you help a nervous heart patient feel at ease?
What they are checking: Warmth with anxious patients, which this employer clearly puts at the center of the role.
Tell me about a time you worked in a fast-paced clinic and the schedule fell behind. How did you help get it back on track?

What would you do
While taking vitals, a patient tells you they've had chest pain since this morning. What do you do?
What they are checking: Knowing to stop and alert a nurse or provider right away instead of finishing the routine first.
A patient's blood pressure reads 190 over 110. What would you do next?
What they are checking: Rechecking correctly and escalating abnormal vitals rather than just writing them down.
How do you handle a patient who is frustrated because they waited a long time to be roomed?

About the work
Walk me through how you would perform a 12-lead EKG, from greeting the patient to handing it to the provider.

How do you make sure the information you update in the chart is accurate, like medication lists and allergies?

How do you protect patient privacy when you're working in a busy hallway or front area?
What they are checking: Practical HIPAA habits in everyday clinic spaces where privacy slips are easy.
