Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for emergency medicine physicians. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Select, request, perform, or interpret diagnostic procedures, such as laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, emergency ultrasounds, and radiographs.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Evaluate patients' vital signs or laboratory data to determine emergency intervention needs and priority of treatment.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Perform emergency resuscitations on patients.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Stabilize patients in critical condition.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Perform such medical procedures as emergent cricothyrotomy, endotracheal intubation, and emergency thoracotomy.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
