Why is working collaboratively as part of a larger care team vital for an Ultrasound Fellow?

"During medical school, I learned how important teamwork is in both a clinic and hospital setting, and I was able to build these skills during my Emergency Medicine Residency training. Over the last three years, I've learned to maintain open lines of communication with my colleagues and support staff. In a busy emergency setting, there can be a hundred things happening at once, and the only way for the team to keep abreast of everything is through communication. I'm also excited to come to your fellowship program and take charge of a care team. You'll quickly find that people typically work well with my leadership style. I listen to ideas from everyone, show respect for everyone I work with, and don't hesitate to grab the bull by the horns when needed."
