Integrating genetic information for patients is becoming more prevalent in EMR systems every year as the field advances. As you enter medical genetics residency training, you must be prepared to work under one common EMR at the institution you join. Your interviewers want to hear about your experience with them during your medical school and residency training up to this point.

Briefly discuss the programs you worked in as a rotating medical student and resident and your role in the systems. As you answer, describe your ability to learn and master the system the program you are interviewing with utilizes. If possible, research the system they use before your interview and come prepared to talk about your experience in that program.

"During my training up to this point, I have worked with Cerner, Epic, and a couple of customized systems for small health systems. I've learned from my hands-on time with them that each program has strengths and weaknesses. These various EMRs have taught me to adapt to different ways of organizing medical information. In my current residency program, I work solely in Epic, and I love to hear that is what your institution is using. I've had great exposure to documenting patient procedures and reading notes. I am confident in my ability to hit the ground running in the system as a resident in your program."
