In the fast-paced world of a pediatric emergency room, teamwork and communication are essential in making sure that patients are triaged correctly, waiting times aren't backed up, and everyone leaves with the best possible care provided to them. Your interviewers are giving you chance to talk about the type of team player you are.

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."
