Coming out of medical school and into Radiation Oncology residency training, you need to be prepared to step in and be the ultimate team player with faculty, fellow residents, and all members of the larger care team you will be collaborating with. The interviewers want assurance that you would join their program as a team player, regardless of personality or work style differences. They'll also want to hear that you will be a natural leader.

Describe your approach to collaborating with others while highlighting how your collaboration style will be a good match for the residency program you are interviewing with. Highlight your leadership skills, communication skills, listening skills, and the respect you show for others in a working environment. If you have examples of times you've proven to be a team player as a medical student, don't hesitate to bring them up.

"Working as part of a team is easy if everyone keeps in mind that the ultimate goal is to do what's best for the patient. Each member of the cancer center has their own tasks and responsibilities with patients, but a good team player steps in to do what's needed for the patient. As the Radiation Oncologist, I plan to be an open communicator and a great listener and won't hesitate to step in and lead others on my care team. If I'm fortunate enough to match with your program, you'll quickly find that others gravitate towards my kind, respectful and open leadership style."
