With patients, my communication style tends to be very compassionate while carefully picking out the information that I may need to make important decisions. I'll do my best to walk the line of being too intrusive and too passive, which I find patients appreciate. I tend to be a man of few words with my coworkers, and I am very direct with them when on the job, while laid back when the workload slows down or when on break.

Open communication is very important to sort things out. It is very important to hear and listen. Give instructions as simple as possible. Confirm that the other party understood.

These are good thoughts! Next, be sure you answer the question directly (what is YOUR communication style) vs. giving the interviewer a lesson on communication. To build an effective response, take a moment to describe your communication style, and then give a measurable example of your effective communication style in action.
