In an office environment, many get away with being antisocial or having superficial relationships with coworkers. In emergency medicine, you don't have that option. You'll get a crash course on each individual you work with, and by necessity, you'll learn how to work with them. Your interviewer wants to know that you will make the first move to build and nurture relationships on the job. There can be miscommunication and confusion on the job while handling crises. Describe what you do to ensure optimal cooperation and teamwork.

"When I join a new team, I like to introduce myself and ask a few questions about the person I am talking to. I like to learn something about every team member, such as how long they have worked for the company, the call volume, and what they like about the area they serve. I think a great way to build professional relationships is to understand that everyone has something to learn from one another."

"I build relationships by being myself. I am outgoing and like learning about the people I work with. I ask them questions about their family, their hobbies, what got them into emergency medicine, and what they like most about their job. I also like to discuss how we will work together on calls, so we have clear expectations of one another."
