What they are checking: Whether they know the full preparatory sequence, including supplies, positioning, prepping and draping.
How do you learn and keep track of each surgeon's preferences so everything is ready before incision?
What they are checking: Whether they anticipate the surgeon's needs rather than reacting, which keeps cases moving safely.
You see a break in sterile technique by a resident during a case. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they speak up immediately regardless of rank, since an infection risk outweighs awkwardness.
What are the main risks when positioning a patient, and how do you protect against them?
What they are checking: Whether they understand pressure injuries, nerve damage and safe lifting during positioning and transfer.
Tell me about a time a surgeon was frustrated with you during a case. How did you respond?
What they are checking: Whether they can stay focused and professional under pressure without taking it personally.
How do you hold retraction for a long stretch while still keeping an eye on the field and what the surgeon needs next?
What they are checking: Whether they can provide steady exposure while staying aware of the whole field.
Midway through a case, an item the surgeon needs isn't in the room. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they solve the problem quickly through the circulator without breaking sterility or adding stress.
How do you turn over a room between cases while making sure it is truly disinfected and safe?
What they are checking: Whether they balance speed with thorough environmental disinfection, which protects the next patient.
