If you are faced with days of long work hours and stressful case loads in our anesthesia practice, how will you stay motivated to succeed every day?

Talk about the time management skills that you have developed throughout your training and career to prove to your interviewer that you will be able to handle the large workload in their practice. Highlight times you've successfully worked through stress. Then ensure your interviewers know you will remain positive and motivated no matter how heavy your workload gets. This question also allows you to shed some light on how you like to refresh and recharge outside of the hospital.

"Through my residency training and five years of practice, I feel fortunate to have worked in busy anesthesia practices. I knew coming into this career path that the work would be laborious at times and require a large time commitment. This has helped me focus and stay motivated each day. I also have a supportive family. My wife is a stay-at-home mom, so on-call hours and evening/night shifts are easily doable for me."
