The interviewer would like to know that you lead by example when it comes to communication in the workplace. Breakdown of communication in a medical setting can have dire effects on the level of care your patients receive. This effect is why a radiation therapist needs to understand that 'telling' and 'showing' are two very different things regarding proper communication. Give examples of how you put dialogue into action in the workplace.

"I show my coworkers the importance of communication through my willingness to ask questions if I do not understand the first time. I do not pretend to know something to save face. By creating an environment where questions are encouraged, we have increased communication greatly and have seen better results for our patients as a result."

This humble approach is very necessary, and it would be great if more people embraced it! Unique answer, and one that the interviewer should appreciate.

Start the day with a team brief to discuss things like difficult patient setups. If an error occurs, hold a team debrief to understand what happened. Keep an electronic record of any communications with patients and healthcare professionals.
Cindy's Feedback
Ok, great. So, modeling this behavior and taking the lead on meetings to communicate is the way you'd handle it? I'd recommend stating that so the conclusion and context are clear.
