During surgery, thoracic surgeons work with a surgical team. The interviewer wants to hear that you work well on a team to ensure you will be an excellent leader and team member if hired. Describe your experience working with a team, how you enjoy working closely with others, and how you could not adequately perform your job without the expertise and assistance of a team.

"Yes, I work very well on a team and enjoy working closely with others. I grew up playing team sports, which taught me the value of teamwork and sportsmanship. During high school, I was the team captain on my rugby team, which helped me develop my leadership skills. I realized then, as I do now, that I could not perform my job efficiently without the help and expertise of my team."
