If you join our pathology residency program, what type of team player will we get?

Explain that you are a great communicator, can take direction, and can take charge and lead others when needed. If possible, talk about your experiences as part of a larger team during your medical school training and the role you are most comfortable playing on a team. While this is an open-ended question, be sure to give some semblance of your ability to lead others respectfully.

"I have always thrived in a team environment and will be very fluid in the roles I play on a team here as a pathology resident, as long as it is for the greater good. I am most comfortable leading others and can't wait to do this with the team of lab staff and other care staff at your institution as a pathology resident. My leadership starts with building rapport with my team and keeping lines of communication open on both ends. I encourage others to come to me when needed and don't hesitate to give constructive feedback to my team members when necessary."
