"During my training to become a medical assistant, we used a simulation EHR software that contains many of the same elements as the commercially-used software. At my internship, the office used eClinicalWorks, so I had some exposure to that program, as well."

With the advances in medical management, employers like to hire employees who like to stay current with those changes. While you may not be required to have a knowledge of EHRs prior to being hired, showing an interest and willingness to learn is also a plus. If you do have experience with EHRs, be sure to mention some of the types of records you have worked on or training that you may have received.

"I do have experience working with electronic health records. While different facilities may use different types of EHRs, overall programs are very similar. I have to say that I do like the fact that we can now use EHRs to store patient information. It makes it much easier to retrieve information and transmit it, when needed."
