DaVita is looking for Patient Carre Technicians who are self-starters and can work independently. While working in a team environment is also required as you collaborate with coworkers, supervisors, and other healthcare professionals. DaVita wants team members who can learn new concepts, treat patients with compassion, and make medical decisions based on their training. The interviewer asks this question to see that you can work independently and will not need to be closely supervised if hired.

Explain that you work well independently and with teams. The interviewer wants to hear that you can work in different types of situations but that you do not need close supervision.
If you want to be considered for the position, avoid saying that you require close supervision. The interviewer wants a Patient Care Technician who is comfortable working alone but knows when to ask a supervisor for assistance.

"I am very comfortable working independently, but I enjoy collaborating with others in a team environment as well. I do not prefer close supervision as I am confident in my skills once I learn something new. If I have a question or require assistance from my supervisor, I will not hesitate to ask them."
