The interviewer wants to know your preference regarding teamwork or working individually. Be sure to avoid pigeonholing yourself into one particular scenario (i.e., I only like to work alone). You may work well without needing much management or direction, or perhaps you are better driven in a collaborative and team-led environment. Either way, be honest with the interviewer about your preferences without leaning negatively one way or the other.

"I always give my best, whether doing an independent project or working in a team environment. I enjoy the camaraderie of working in a team, but I can also be successful working autonomously."

"I have found, in the past, that I work well in an individually driven environment. However, I can also be productive in a team-based setting. Both environments have their pros and cons, but I can adapt to either quite well."

Most healthcare positions are team-based unless you work at a call center or other position where you primarily work alone. You want the interviewer to know you can work well and be productive in either environment. However, you can lean slightly towards having a preference that aligns with the position you are interviewing for.
