Are you good at working on a team?
As a preventive medicine physician, you must work well on a team. You will be responsible for working with government agencies, corporations, public health departments, healthcare facilities, and health insurance companies. As a preventive medicine resident, you will work with attending physicians, patients, residents, and fellows. The interviewers want to hear that you work well with others and will be a valued team player if matched to their residency program. Describe your ability to be a team player.
"Yes, I work very well on a team. Growing up, I was involved in team sports which taught me the power of teamwork and working with other team members' strengths. I believe a team approach accomplishes greater things than working alone, as we can all learn from each other's experiences."
