Talk about a time you had to work with a new technology. What did you do to ensure proficiency as quickly as possible?

Think of time where you had to learn a new technology and ensure that your example proves your ability to study, learn and master its use in short order. Then, as you answer, discuss with your interviewing team the fact that you know you will be learning a new EMR and other medical equipment during your residency program and that you are willing and ready to be a great learner of any new technologies thrown your way during your time with them.

"First and foremost, I want you to know that I would come to your program understanding that today's physicians need to embrace technology to be able to provide the best patient care possible. I've always been enamored by great technological advancements in healthcare over the years. More recently during the pandemic, one area that physicians need to embrace is telehealth and I was fortunate to be exposed during my clinical rotations. Learning technologies like Zoom and other video conferencing apps was a new concept to me. Prior to beginning their use, I watched training videos and practiced having virtual consults with my classmates to ensure that there wouldn't be any technical glitches when I worked with patients. Coming to your residency program, I would be fully confident in my ability to use video for telehealth consults with patients."
