As a physician, you must work well with others. You will be responsible for leading multidisciplinary teams and working with other specialized healthcare professionals. As a transitional year resident, you will collaborate with attending physicians, patients, residents, and fellows. The interviewers want to hear that you work well with others and will be a valued team player if matched to their residency program.

"I enjoy working with others and do so very well. I like taking a team approach to healthcare and involving family members, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals to develop the best treatment plan for each patient. I believe a team approach accomplishes greater things than working alone, as we can all learn from each other's experiences."
