Working on an electronic medical record program is an essential part of any residency training program, including a Dermatology residency. Your interviewers know that every new resident that matches with their program will need to be trained on their customized system. In asking this question, they simply want to hear what programs you are familiar with and that you are comfortable in your ability to learn and master their program quickly if you match with them.

"I was fortunate enough to get to work firsthand in a few different systems during med school, and they included the big ones like Cerner and EPIC. I'm happy that I got to learn the ins and outs of a few different programs for patient charting, looking up previous notes, and submitting orders because I feel prepared to enter a Dermatology residency and master your program quickly. I know my notes will need to be quick and accurate to be shared with primary care providers and nursing staff working with my patients."

Talk about your experiences working on different programs during medical school, and be sure to point out your comfortability working on any system you train on. Discussing the importance of utilizing the system during your Dermatology residency training will go a long way with your interviewers.
