Are you prepared to handle the inevitable stressful situations that come with training in our medical genetics residency program?

"Yes, I feel prepared because I have always worked well under pressure. I can 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 and focus on one task at a time. This focus on the task at hand, coupled with my ability to prioritize efficiently, removes any unnecessary worry during the work day in the clinic."
