      How to Answer

      As a Physical Therapist, there may be a time that you have to delegate work to your co-workers. Tell the interviewer about a time that you had successful communications with your co-workers and were able to delegate work to get the job done. Talk about the teamwork you and your co-workers have and how you help each other out with delegated duties.

      Entry Level

      "In a busy setting, it is extremely important for members of the team to communicate and help each other out. In my internship, I learned quickly that communication was important to help everything run smoothly. I know that I am effective at delegating work when needed as long as the colleague I am working with understands why I am delegating and what I am delegating."

      "Working for years on an inpatient rehab unit, delegating was an important piece of our daily life and I wouldn't hesitate to do it. The members of our team had workloads that could fluctuate on a daily, and even hourly, basis. By remaining in communication throughout the day, we never hesitated to help each other out and this made our operation run as smooth as possible for our patients."

      "Yes, I'm comfortable in delegating the work to my colleagues. It is very important as a Physical Therapist that you work as a team with your colleagues. For example, recently, I had a pregnant woman who was diagnosed with Sciatica. On evaluation, I came to know that she is also having urinary incontinence. I treated her for back pain and had my colleague, who is a pelvic floor therapist, treat her for urinary incontinence so that my patient gets the best care from our team."
