Burnout among radiology residents is among the highest compared to other medical specialties, with 85% feeling emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased feelings of personal accomplishment. Many factors contribute to burnout from the added stress of continuous and long clinical shifts, demanding call schedules, lack of social interaction, and technical issues. The interviewers want to hear that you will be successful at managing your stress and will have the ability to stay calm and professional in stressful situations. Describe when you have worked in stressful situations and how you manage your stress.

"I work very well under pressure. I can always remain calm and professional when faced with stressful situations. I find the best thing to do when there is a lot of pressure at work is to stay organized. I create a list, prioritize the most urgent assignments, and delegate work where I can. If I stay focused and know exactly what needs to be done, work stressors do not affect me."
