The interviewer is interested in your ability to successfully resolve a conflict with a coworker or supervisor. You can answer this based on your personal experience but make sure that it has a positive end result.
Examples:
"Physicians tend to get busy and get overwhelmed with patient consults. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to schedule some quality time to discuss patient files and they go ahead and do the consult without talking to genetic counselors. This can, of course, lead to miscommunication or confusion for the patients. When I come across situations like these, I always reach out to the physician or the physician assistant and make sure that we are on the same page about patient treatment timelines so that we do not overwhelm or confuse the patient"
