You work great with people! This question may stump you, but as an Epidemiologist, you may work on your own more often than in a group. The interviewer wants to hear that you work well with all types of people from patients to other healthcare professionals.

I have excelled in communication skill that helps a leader when needed and a follower when needed. When it comes to conflict resolution, I rather talk with the person 1-1 than keep the issue aside. I would like to hear their side of the story to see where I can meet them in the middle ground. I love inspiring and supporting my team to help them be the best version of themselves.

Fantastic! It sounds like you're collaborative, personable, and friendly, in addition to being a strong communicator. To back up your assertions, use the STAR method (situation, task, action, result) to give some examples that showcase these abilities of yours. Great job!
