Motivation & Insight into Medicine 11


How will you deal with these stresses?
​
Average Candidate Response
  • I will try and maintain a balance between my work and non-work commitments, ensuring that I have time to do things that I enjoy such as football and tennis.
 
Excellent Candidate Response
  • In my opinion, there is no way of eliminating stress completely but there are ways of reducing and managing it.
  • I think that it is important not to become too emotionally attached to patients, whilst at the same time still caring for them to the best of your ability, as in this way you can minimise the pain of each loss.
  • At the moment, in order to limit stress from exams, I try to keep a firm balance between work and extra-curricular activities such as by playing golf and badminton which I will hopefully continue through university and into professional life.
  • Lastly, I find that the more prepared I am, the less stressed I become, which is why I try to prepare for every situation to the best of my ability.
