Physicians in the emergency care setting are known to have high stress and burnout due to the nature of the work. While you've been exposed to these elements during your residency training, you need to be aware that the time demands and pressure of a Pediatric EM fellowship can lead to fatigue and little sleep. Your interviewers want to hear about your plan to handle the stress that will come with training in their program.

Explain to your interviewers that you have the tools to keep your mind, body, and spirit in the best shape possible to learn and grow every day during your training as a Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellow. Talk about your ability to maintain perspective, use your downtime to recharge, and come to each shift prepared for the challenges that you'll face.
"When dealing with a stressful situation during residency training, I always tried to take things one step at a time and focus on the problem in front of me. I'm also a very open communicator and never hesitate to reach out to colleagues for assistance if necessary. Likewise, I'm always willing to lend a hand to them. After my shift and outside of work, I do things such as meditation to deal with stress. I also find that reading and quiet time with family helps."
