The interviewer asks this question to see if you can work well on a team and by yourself when needed. Assure the interviewer you are a team player but can work alone when required. Working as a healthcare professional will see you doing both.

Talk to the interviewer about your preference for 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.
