What EHR systems were you exposed to during your medical school training?

"During medical school, I was fortunate to have learned EPIC, Cerner, and a custom system the hospital created. I learned how to look up patient records, chart notes, order labs, and prescribe medications. While all systems had the same end goals, they operated very differently. I am very computer savvy and picked up on each program quickly. I'm happy to hear that your system uses EPIC because I am very comfortable in the system and confident in my ability to pick up on things quickly once training starts."

First, speak openly and honestly about your experiences with different EHR programs during medical school by talking about each program you trained on and what role you played working within each. Then ensure your interviewers know that you are comfortable working on their system by expressing your ability to learn any program in short order.

"I have gained valuable experience using EHRs. I have worked on both EPIC and Cerner during my clinical rotations."

"In medical school my home program used the Cerner EHR, but I also did rotations at the VA which used its own system, as well as multiple different hospital organizations on separate instances of Epic. I found it to be helpful to use a variety of different systems to see what worked best for various workflows because it allowed me to get a feel for what it might be like practicing in different environments."
