Here are 3 potential responses to the CASPer question about how to handle an uncooperative group member: 1. I would try to have a respectful, one-on-one conversation with the uncooperative group member to understand their perspective and concerns. My goal would be to find a collaborative solution while maintaining a cooperative working relationship. 2. As the group leader, I would schedule a meeting to discuss expectations and responsibilities in a constructive manner. This allows everyone to have input on setting clear and fair guidelines to assess contributions and resolve issues going forward. 3. If direct communication did not resolve the issue, I would request a meeting with our faculty advisor for guidance. They may be able to mediate or suggest an alternative

  • Introduction to Scenario-Based Questions
  • CASPer Sample Questions
  • Ethical Considerations and Guidance

While you may have a very strong opinion about the topic you are discussing,

the interviewer will also be looking to see if you address the other side of the
argument.  There are no right or wrong answers. I can’t stress this point
enough.  Many prospective students get hung up while trying to search for what
the interviewer “wants to hear”.  I can tell you personally that this awkward
silence is something no one wants to hear. 
What the interviewer really wants to know is how you can converse about
important topics to the field of dentistry.  Can you hold a conversation?  Can
you listen to feedback and address it accordingly? Can you acknowledge
another person’s viewpoint and provide dialog to support or contradict that
viewpoint?  These are all skills that can and should be practiced before your
interview.

How do you respond to ppl who approach you with a problem of unccoperative
group member?
What will you say to unco operative group member? What is your strategy?

You are a physician on duty at the local ER. A 'scruffy' looking middle aged
man, dressed in sweat pants and an old sweater walks in complaining of severe
back pain. While taking the history, the man kept insisting that the only thing
that helps his pain is a very strong painkiller. A nurse quietly tells you that this
gentleman frequently visits the hospital and gets prescribed painkillers.

CASPer Sample Questions:

1. What is going through your mind right now?


2. What should you do in this situation?
3. How would you handle the patient if he kept insisting on getting prescribed
painkillers?

You are the executive director of a law firm. You find out that your articling
student has accidentally destroyed an important piece of evidence that would
have cleared a wrongfully accused person. If you reveal this to the authorities,
your student will not only lose her job, but will face jail time for destroying
court evidence.
CASPer Sample Questions:
1. What will you do in this situation?
2. What if you had information that the accused person is indeed guilty of other
unrelated but more serious crimes for which you do not have any evidence that
would hold up in the court?

Non judgemental.. Non accusatory.. ssame time find out if it was intentional had
a motive or by accident as truth may be different than what is said. But be
empathetic
Listen to student, Check cctv cameras, gather more information, find out if
somehow destroyed evidence can be salvaged..
Type of crime, seek advice from experienced lawyer friend whom u can trust.
Find out about other alternatives by which accused can be proven innocent.

Regardless of what we do in life, there will be times when we will come into
disagreement with an authority figure or a superior.

CASPer Sample Questions:


1. Describe a time when you came into conflict with an authority figure and
how you dealt with it.
2. How would you tell a superior that you think they are ‘wrong’?
3. Is it ever appropriate to keep quiet and not speak up against a superior even
though you are certain they are making a 'wrong choice’?

If the group discovered a serious personal issue in Sue’s life, I would offer to
help Sue find support on campus and suggest talking to the professor as a
group to explain the situation.”

“If Sue hesitated to give us a valid excuse, but seemed troubled, I would try to
talk to her in private after the group meeting in case she was too embarrassed
or afraid to speak in front of the group.”
“If it appears that Sue is simply neglecting her duties, I would try to re-
establish a set of expectations for the group and have everyone sign off on
them.”

“If Sue didn’t correct her actions over the next few meetings, I would inform the
professor about the situation and ask for his or her guidance.”    

There is a reason why there is laws, rules and higher authorities, some rules
need to be ascertained in order to successfully traverse thro so called grey areas
of ethics as and when they present themselves

One shouldn’t hesitate to consult lawyers dental councils and experienced


dentists for legal advice and when one is unsure of what to do. Seeking advice is
important. Do no harm. Don’t have to be an accomplice in order to protect
autonomy of patient when the patients make poor decision. Doctor has right to
refuse treatment.
