How do you work as part of a larger team and how does this come into play in a Radiology setting?

"Having worked in a large radiology department for many years, teamwork is of utmost importance to better meet the needs of our patients. Every player in the department has a unique role to better serve the patients needs and we all need to work together to be able to meet those needs. I bring my level of expertise and experience to the team and don't hesitate to do this with any member of our team. As well, if I need guidance or thoughts from another member of our team, I don't hesitate to reach out to them. I am fortunate right now because our large team functions more like a family than a work unit and that makes work life so much easier."

Teamwork is very important in your work setting and your interviewer will be looking for insight on how you work with other members of your team. Make sure to talk about how you can work with people in all levels of your organization, including colleagues, physicians management. Relating the importance of teamwork back to the patient is also important here.

"In my departments that I've worked in, being an effective member of a team is very important. Among my fellow techs, I tend to be a leader that others can bounce questions or concerns off of and I thrive being held to those standards. I work very well with my group of physicians and they see me as approachable and knowledgeable in our field. I also don't hesitate to talk to them when needed."
