The definition of teamwork is 'the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.' Teamwork is essential in most professions and especially in healthcare. Rehabilitation counselors work with other medical professionals, employers, and family members to provide the best possible care for their patients. Describe what you think when you hear the term 'teamwork.'

"I define teamwork as having the ability to work effectively with others in a combined effort to achieve a goal. As a rehabilitation counselor, I must work well with a team to provide the best care to my patients. I do not work alone and could not do my job efficiently and effectively without the help of my team."
