This question provides an excellent opportunity to show the interviewer how much you enjoy your job, whether it's a particular type of patient, the rush of adrenaline that comes from an emergency, or the rendering of the art of medicine by saving the day with insight. Speak about what excites you and motivates you to do the job every day. You can also include areas that excite you in the future; perhaps technological advancements, or earning specialty certifications.

"I have always loved to be challenged, and anesthesiology is a very intellectually demanding career. I'm excited by the numerous practice and specialty areas, ranging from pain management, obstetrics, cardiac and palliative care. There are endless opportunities to grow, develop and make an impact on patient care, and I'm excited to get started on my career journey."

"Emergency surgeries are usually life-threatening and life-saving at the same time. My role is to make the life-saving possible while holding together a severely challenged and life-threatened physiology, and when that happens, I know that my contribution is what made the surgeon's contribution possible. Our roles are mutually inclusive, and when a patient rolls in the PACU in stable condition, this is an excitement that makes every harrowing moment worthwhile."

"Today's anesthesiologist accomplishes things that just a few generations ago would have been considered magic or alchemy. I have to admit that when I re-establish the stability of someone who is hemorrhaging, fighting multi-organ jeopardy, or resisting the ravages of infection, that is magic to me. And magic is exhilarating."
