Working in healthcare can be emotional at times. It is normal to have strong emotions when working as a healthcare professional, but it is imperative to channel those emotions so they do not interfere with your work. Taking good care of your mental and physical health helps channel those emotions, so you can maintain composure when facing work challenges. Let the interviewers know how you remain professional when faced with an emotional workday.

"It is hard not to feel emotional when losing a patient or delivering bad news, but I knew it was part of the job going in. I keep my emotions from affecting my work by talking with my colleagues or mentor if something is bothering me and taking care of myself away from work. I like to run, which clears my mind. I also think of the good things about a patient I have lost or who is diagnosed with a life-changing condition and do not focus on the sad part."

Dr. Rodman

"Working with and treating illness can be emotional. However, it is important not to allow these feelings from clouding judgment or impacting patient care. That being said, the patient-physician relationship is important, and using emotions to break bad or exciting news is vital to the formation of this bond."
