What kind of team player would you be in our Pediatric Emergency Medicine program?

Explain that you are a great communicator, can take direction, and can take charge and lead others when needed. Talk about your experiences as part of a larger team 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 can be very fluid in my roles on a team. This includes the last three years as a resident. I am most comfortable leading others and can't wait to do this with the team of nursing staff and other care staff at your institution as a Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellow. 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."
