Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, a celebrity, or an author. Anyone! Having a mentor in our lives can help encourage and empower us to take a step in the right direction. You can learn valuable business and life skills from your mentor, including best business practices, appropriate behaviors, and protocols. They provide insight, perspective, vision and provide a sounding board. Tell the interviewer how your mentor has helped you become the anesthesiologist you are today. A mentor need not be a teacher of your specialty; he or she can simply inspire you by who they are, how they are poised, and who they help.

"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my grandmother. She always had a smile on her face no matter how hard she worked and she loved everyone. She was well respected and always gave more than she received. I try to live with her as much as I can."

"My mentor has been my father. My father is also an anesthesiologist, so he has been able to help and guide me get to where I am today, especially during the powerful emotional undercurrents that come when patients don't improve or when they suffer complications."

"I have had as many mentors as I have had patients, because I make sure to learn something from each and every one of them, patient-by-patient, case-by-case, success-by-success, and complication-by-complication. I am always being mentored, and if I miss a lesson from any one patient, then I have not been a good anesthesiologist for that patient."
