If you had a personality conflict with a fellow physician in our practice, how would you effectively work through that situation?

First, talk about your ability to collaborate with other physicians despite differing thoughts or viewpoints and explain why this is important. Then, talk about your ability to compromise when conflict arises. Don't hesitate to give examples of times you've used these tactics throughout your training and career to reiterate your ability to bring them to this team.

"I fully understand that any practice I join out of residency will include colleagues who have bold and brash personalities. I am all about learning together and cooperating while learning from each other's points of view. If I had a personality conflict with a fellow physician in your practice, I would be upfront in talking through our differences and use the situation as a learning opportunity. If we were unable to solve the conflict, I would be respectful of my colleague and their opinion moving forward to ensure that we work best together for our patients."
