Can you multitask? It can be very difficult to bounce between one task and the other, and having a broad range of responsibilities gives you a lot to balance. You want to show that you are competent, reliable and that you have found a system that works for you. Tell the interviewer how you to sort through tasks and intentionally choose what needs to happen at what time.

"I usually accomplish tasks based on deadlines. Patients come first, so if I have someone in front of me, they have my full attention. I have an order that I do things, to make sure I have all the tools I need and know where they are, as keeping track of days I need to put in orders for different items. I've learned to be more flexible too, as things can shift quickly around the office, so I can change gears when I need to."
