In the first year as an anesthesiology resident, there is a steep learning curve reported by a first-year resident. There is advanced physiology and pharmacology to learn, new medical terminology, procedural skills, and nuances to different anesthetics. Other challenging aspects include relocating to a different city or state, making new friends, money struggles, and lack of sleep. The interviewers want to hear what you will find most challenging and how you plan to work through the challenge. Describe what you feel will be your most significant obstacle and your plan to overcome it.
