"One of my biggest strengths is my ability to be calm, cool, and collected during stressful situations. During my residency training, I faced many stressful situations in the NICU, PICU, and Pediatric ED rotations. My attending physicians knew I had what it takes to think clearly in difficult situations, and I think these natural skills will come in handy during fellowship training with your program."
