Think of a time you had to learn new technology and choose an example that proves your ability to study, learn, and master its use in short order. Then, 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 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 understand that today's physicians need to embrace technology to provide the best patient care possible. I've always been enamored by great technological advancements in healthcare. More recently during the pandemic, one area that physicians need to embrace is telehealth, and I was fortunate to be exposed to this during my clinical rotations. Learning technologies like Zoom and other video conferencing apps was a new concept to me. Before 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. I am fully confident in my ability to use video for telehealth consults with patients."

"The first time I ever used an electronic medical record was when I started clinical rotations during medical school. I attended a class to learn how to use it and wrote down questions I had and areas I didn't fully understand. Following the class, I did research on my own time to be able to use the EMR as effectively as possible while on rotation."
