As a physician, you must have the skills to work well under pressure. The interviewers want to hear that you can remain calm and professional when faced with the stressors of your job. Give an example of working under pressure related to your role as a physician to show the interview panel you have the skills they seek in a resident. You might have had a patient that went into cardiac arrest while you were assessing them or had a loved one come into the hospital who was injured while you were working. Using the STAR method is an excellent way to formulate your response to this question. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. Briefly describe the situation, explain your role, the measures you took to solve the issues, and the outcome.
