Talk about a time you were stressed and under immense pressure on the job as an Anesthesiologist. How did you navigate that situation?

"My residency training in anesthesiology came at a time when healthcare institutions were under an immense amount of pressure from patient volume, and my training program wasn't immune to that. For the last year of my training, I spent countless hours on-call and working long night and weekend shifts. To successfully handle this workload and stress, I did my best to work on tasks one at a time and not let other tasks worry me. I developed great time management skills to ensure that all facets of my care were being taken care of, including charting. If hired for this position, you can be confident that I can handle any workload thrown my way."
