This role involves assisting in ambulatory pediatric cases. Tell me about your experience or comfort level caring for children in a procedural setting.

depth of hands-on knowledge across the specific procedure types this lab performs

Walk me through how you document a procedure and patient status changes in the electronic record while things are moving quickly around you.

Situational

Say a patient in recovery starts showing signs of respiratory depression after sedation. What do you do, step by step?

You're floated to help with a GI case in the main operating room. How do you adjust to that environment compared to the GI lab itself?

flexibility and cross-training ability since this role supports both settings

This position can include call shifts within a 6-week rotation. How do you handle being on call, especially with short notice?
