In a large group practice, like you will be joining in this Cardiology Fellowship, the ability to refer a patient to another provider really puts the needs of the patient first. Your interviewers need to be assured that, once you make the correct diagnosis or need an extra set of eyes, you wouldn't hesitate to refer a patient to the proper specialist.

"I certainly plan to practice along the lines of cardiology and any subspecialty I'm qualified for as a fellow and future Cardiologist, when I can and when it's appropriate. I will make liberal use of consultation for the best health impact on my patients. If another specialist does something better or is more qualified from a regulatory standpoint, I will willingly defer to or partner with him or her on the case at hand."

Make sure that you discuss your own awareness and personal feelings on providing the best care possible to patients. This will entail coming to realize that you can't do it all for every patient and you'll have to rely on the help of other provider colleagues at times. Your answer should be centered on what is best for your patient, not winning some turf battle.
