"I'm not a stranger to the pressures of a busy clinical schedule. My first three years in practice involved a practice that was short-staffed. I learned how to stay organized and dictate patient notes efficiently and how communication was key to providing the best care possible. I attribute much of my ability to handle pressure-packed situations at work to taking care of myself outside of the clinic walls. I prioritize exercise, rest, and quality family time while away from the clinic, and they help me come to work each day relaxed, refreshed, and ready to take on any challenge."

Provide an example of a time you were challenged by a challenging workload or a pressure-packed situation. Possible examples include managing several critical patients or handling a large workload. Discuss how you reacted in that situation, what you learned from this experience, and if you would do things differently next time. Don't forget to mention the resources you used to ensure that you paid close attention to the fine details.
