At a healthcare facility like IWK Health Centre that has a strong focus on pediatric care, things can get very hectic with children of all ages, families and other visitors coming to the facility. Your interviewer will be looking to hear that you are able to stay focused on the details of your job to remain accurate and productive no matter the environment that you work in. If you have a specific example of a work environment like this, talk about the methods and techniques you used to ensure that you stayed focused on your work and avoided distraction.

"As you can see from my resume, I have spent a good portion of my working career in a pediatric setting. While things can get loud and crazy at times, I am able to stay focused on my patients and my work by closing doors to help minimize any outside noise. Knowing full well that the clinic can get loud at times, some patients don't understand that so I always try to minimize the situation in their eyes to let them know that I am focused on them in the moment."
