"Every patient that is receiving therapy from a Speech Pathologist is being care by as part of a much larger team. During my experience working on an inpatient unit during my fellowship, it was extremely important for my to be in communication with all members of the patients care team. Fully realizing that nursing staff and physicians were busy with their full patient load, my communications with them were detailed while being brief and to the point. In my fellowship, I also learned quickly how important patient documentation was in the EMR."

"In my current position, I work with patients that have been referred by physicians from several different healthcare organizations in our area. While working off-site from each of the referring physicians, I had to take the time to learn the preferences in communication for each of them. Some prefer a phone call, others prefer an email and I tailor my approach to communication with each one on an individual basis. I have found that this has helped me get the fastest responses possible when I needed them."

Interviewers want to hear that you enjoy working with a team. You may talk about how you collaborate with physicians, nurses, and ancillary providers of the patient's care team. This is a good time to mention that you understand how busy physicians and nurses are, so you work very hard to communicate succinctly with them when presenting treatment plans and evaluations. Be sure to mention that you understand you are a part of a team, so you always make yourself available for further questions or recommendations.
