What EMR programs did you get experience working in during medical school and during your residency training?
Technology in the medical field has been evolving and will continue to evolve year after year. You will need to be prepared to work under one common EMR at the institution you join. Your interviewers simply want to hear about the experience you gained in your previous training.
Briefly discuss the programs you used as a rotating medical student and resident and your role in the systems. Describe your ability to learn and master their program from the start. Don't hesitate to ask questions about the program that this institution uses.
"I understand that today's physicians need to embrace technology to provide the best patient care possible. During medical school, I was fortunate to work within EPIC, Cerner, Nextech, and a couple of customized systems. During my residency training, I worked solely in EPIC. In EPIC, I was responsible for patient charting, ordering prescriptions, managing the inbox to our unit, and assisting patients with the frontline patient portal. I was able to quickly learn any program I was introduced to. I've heard that you use Cerner system-wide; is that correct?"
