Likely interview questions for this role

Behavioral
Walk me through your background with electrophysiology or cardiac device patients, even if it was on a telemetry or CCU floor rather than in a dedicated EP clinic.
whether the candidate has real exposure to cardiac rhythm patients or is trainable given the clinic's specific focus
Tell me about a time a patient's heart rhythm changed suddenly while you were caring for them. What did you notice first and what did you do?
pattern recognition and calm response under a clinical emergency, drawing on ICU/ED/CCU background
Tell me about a time you had to coordinate care between multiple providers, like a cardiologist, EP specialist, and primary care doctor, for one patient.
care coordination skills needed in a clinic that sits within a larger cardiology network

compassion and communication skills tied to the company's emphasis on whole-person, patient-centered care
Describe a time you had to physically assist or transfer a patient safely, maybe someone who was unsteady or larger-bodied. What precautions did you take?
awareness of the physical demands and safe patient handling described in the posting
What does evidence-based practice mean to you, and can you give an example of when you changed how you did something because of new clinical evidence or a policy update?

Technical
What do you know about how pacemakers and ICDs work, and what are the key things you'd watch for during a device check?

Tell me about your experience reading and interpreting EKGs or telemetry strips. What rhythms are you most comfortable identifying?
concrete rhythm-recognition competency required for EP clinic triage
Describe your current ACLS certification and a time you actually had to use those skills.

Situational
A patient comes in for a device check and their pacemaker interrogation shows an unexpected lead issue. Walk me through how you'd handle that in clinic.
understanding of device follow-up workflow and knowing when to escalate to the EP physician
How would you explain to a patient why they need an ablation or a device implant, in a way they can actually understand?
patient education skill and ability to translate complex cardiology concepts simply
A patient scheduled for a Saturday device clinic shift calls anxious about their upcoming procedure. How do you handle that call?
