      Answer Example

      "I like to consider myself a very stress-free person, both in my professional and personal life, but I'd have to say that the times that cause me the most anxiety are the days when the clinic is full and I worry about keeping clinical schedules on time. The last thing I want is for a patient's reading to start more than 10 minutes past their scheduled time because I know a lot of patients are taking time away from work or their families to make an appointment. In these situations, I find it most important to remain focused on each patient I am with and be as efficient as I can with each. Ensuring that my team stays in communication when the clinic is full is very important to ensure that we remain on schedule and I never hesitate to lead these conversations. I certainly wouldn't in the future as part of the amazing Kaiser Permanente team!"

      "Patient adherence, the idea of patients, not taking their medications like they are supposed to, and affecting their health, can be stressful. By talking to them, explaining how important it is for them to take their prescriptions daily, and offer them auto-fill on their prescriptions, and enroll them on ready reminder will help them take better care of their health."
