"A few months ago, we had four victims of a car accident in critical condition. I was part of the initial triage team with my attending physician and nursing staff. I led all communications about patient statuses and prioritized which patients were receiving immediate care. In this situation, making decisions quickly and communicating them to the physicians, nursing staff, and PCAs was extremely important. I debriefed the team every 20 minutes on progress and helped make adjustments on the fly as we stabilized the first two patients quickly."

Before your Ultrasound Fellowship interviews, think back on the best real-life example from residency training of a time your communication skills benefited your entire care team. Some possible situations could include working through a difficult patient situation or working through a new procedure in patient care. Explain to your interviewers how your communication was vital in making the situation a success.
